Barça supporters have been waiting for it since September 28. Deprived of victory since their success against Real Sociedad, they were able to rejoice again this Saturday, on the occasion of Barça's victory against Girona (2-1, 9th day of La Liga). A success nevertheless obtained despite difficulty and snatched away at the end of added time.
Well served by Lamine Yamal, Pedri opened the scoring for the Blaugrana before the end of the first quarter of an hour (1-0, 13th). But Girona was quick to react and equalize through Axel Witsel (1-1, 20th). The visitors had several opportunities to take the lead but failed to take advantage of several interesting counterattacks.
Araujo, savior of FC Barcelona
Grouped together in a compact unit, Girona thought it would manage to leave Barcelona with a point, but it was finally surprised by the goal of Ronald Araujo, who entered the game and was present at the resumption of a cross to tackle the ball and send it to the back of the net (2-1, 90th + 3). While waiting for Real Madrid to travel to Getafe this Sunday, Barça temporarily regains the lead in the standings with one point ahead of the Merengue.
