    FT: Girona 0-1 Barca. Barcelona narrowly escape the drop. Xavi's team managed to avoid dropping points on their visit to Montilivi after taking all three points against a Girona side that fought until the last minute to draw and take a point. In the end Pedri's second half goal was enough for the 'Cules' to stay top of La Liga and increase the gap to Madrid to 6 points despite the fact that the 'Merengues' have a game in hand.
