❌ Yamal misses penalty, Barca on the losing side in Girona | OneFootball

After the humiliation against Atletico Madrid in the cup, FC Barcelona is currently on a mission for redemption at FC Girona in La Liga.

After missed opportunities on both sides, the best chance for the Flick team came in the last minute of the first half following a foul on Dani Olmo: A penalty allowed for a direct shot on goal.

Initially, Raphinha had the ball in his hands, but in the end, Lamine Yamal stepped up – and missed a penalty for the first time this season.

The Spaniard hit the ball to the right post, so despite high shot numbers on both sides, it remained goalless at the break.

Overall, this was already the third missed penalty by Barcelona in the league. The other two were missed by Robert Lewandowski, who watched the game from the bench until his substitution in the 73rd minute. This season, the Catalans have been awarded seven free shots from the spot.

Pau Cubarsi initially made up for his teammate's miss and scored with his shoulder in the 59th minute to make it 1-0 from the visitors' perspective. However, just a few moments later, Thomas Lemar quickly responded to equalize at 1-1.

Shortly before the end, it got even worse for Barcelona. Fran Beltran scored a goal to give Girona the lead (86th minute), putting the Catalans on the losing track. At least, that's how it looks at the moment.

A few minutes remain for the Blaugrana to regain the lead. Barcelona needs a win if they want to reclaim the top of the table from Real Madrid.
