Barcelona is determined to maintain their perfect start to the season by triumphing over Girona, a team they suffered two defeats against in the previous season. Hansi Flick is experiencing his first Catalan derby, and it has been a delightful one so far, with the Blaugrana taking the lead in the first half at Montilivi.
The visitors asserted their dominance in the early stages, although they failed to create any clear-cut chances. However, the deadlock was broken in the 31st minute, with Barcelona's young talent, Lamine Yamal, seizing the opportunity. The 17-year-old managed to break through the defense and calmly dispatched the ball past Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga in a one-on-one situation.

Lamine Yamal scored two beautiful goals in the first half of the Catalan derby to give the visitors a 2-0 lead. For the first goal, Yamal made a decisive move as he dispossessed Lopez on the edge of the box. Showing impressive speed and composure, the teenager swiftly turned towards the goal, took on the keeper, and unleashed a rising shot to score.
A free kick was delivered into the box which was barely cleared, and the ball fell to the edge of the box. Yamal was in a position to collect and expertly slotted in a left-footed finish to score his second while the keeper could only manage to be a spectator.
