Barcelona extended their flawless start to the season with a convincing 4-1 victory over Girona, with 17-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal netting a brace.
Yamal’s brilliance shone through as he capitalized on a defensive error to open the scoring, followed by a composed finish from the edge of the box for his second.
Dani Olmo continued his hot streak, becoming the first Barcelona player since Cesc Fabregas to score in his first three league appearances, while Pedri added further gloss to the scoreline.
Girona had a glimmer of hope when a penalty decision was overturned following a VAR review, and substitute Cristhian Stuani netted a late consolation goal.
However, Ferran Torres’ red card for a reckless challenge compounded their woes.
The win solidifies Barcelona’s position at the top of La Liga, showcasing their attacking prowess and highlighting the emergence of Yamal as a rising star.
