Barcelona extended their unbeaten run in 2025 with a 4-1 win over Girona, remaining three points clear at the top of La Liga. The team scored four goals for the fifth time this season, taking their tally to an unprecedented 139 after 45 games. Hansi Flick’s men are now poised to dominate the table, thanks in part to the goal-scoring prowess of players like Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, and Ferran Torres.
Despite being without top performer Raphinha due to a grueling international break, Barcelona continued to thrive. The match was won by Yamal, who forced the opener before Lewandowski bagged a brace. Ferran Torres added to the tally with his 15th goal of the season. The team’s ability to score goals is undeniable.
Eric Garcia, a player often overlooked for plaudits, marked a milestone appearance in Sunday’s match, becoming Barca’s 100th-century-old player. Flick handed Garcia a start, and he played well, showcasing his versatility as a center-back or midfielder. Garcia credits the team’s success to his adaptability and the quality of players around him.
Fermin Lopez’s debut was promising, with the youngster causing problems for Girona. He received praise from Flick for his performance and is considered a valuable asset off the bench. The Dutchman also highlighted Lopez’s potential, praising his intelligence, hard work, and goalscoring record.
Barcelona will look to maintain their momentum as they head into a crucial phase of the season at home and abroad. With key players like Lewandowski and de Jong delivering under pressure, Flick will be hopeful that this form can continue.
