Join us for LIVE coverage of La Liga clash between Girona and Barcelona from the Montilivi Stadium! Great match in which the 'Cules' will be looking to take all three points against a Girona team that sit 12th with 21 points in order to stay three points clear of Madrid.
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.
Gavi receives inside the box and finds Jordi Alba on the left. The left-back squares the ball to the far post, where Pedri pushes the ball into the net.
Barca sub: Marcos Alonso is replaced by Jordi Alba.
