Barça clings to the supporting role

Temporarily eclipsed by Girona, FC Barcelona regained second place in La Liga this Monday evening.

The Blaugranas disposed of Valencia to do this, not without having been led to the mark after the opening score signed by Fermin Lopez (22e) – Hugo Duro (27e) and Pepelu (38e on penalty) having then turned the tide.

The expulsion of opposing goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili in added time of the first act has admittedly reshuffled the cards.

A hat-trick in the second act (49e82e90e+3), Robert Lewandowski allowed the Catalans to rectify their situation to win (4-2).

Barça regains its two points lead over Girona, while pushing back Atlético, fourth, to nine points. The Merengue leader is perched 11 lengths away.
