In the first half of Girona and Barcelona the score did not change. The stage had few goal opportunities and few creations. The most worrying news was the replacement of Dembélé. The player felt his thigh and will still be evaluated, but a new injury is suspected.
On the way back from the changing rooms, Pedri was the protagonist. At 15 minutes, Barcelona built a beautiful move after stealing the ball. The youngster, who participated in the bid along with Gavi, Ansu Fati and Jordi Alba, received it in the area and had the job of just pushing towards the goal, free kick.
