Girona beat FC Barcelona 4-2 as a visitor to once again reach the lead in LaLiga alone and make it clear that they plan to fight at the top until the end. The leader counted on the Brazilians Yan Couto and Sávio from the start and in the case of the winger he scored with an assist in the goal that put definitive figures on the scoreboard.
In the duel between Catalan teams, the goals for Girona were from Artem Dovbyk (12), Miguel Gutiérrez (40), Valery Fernández (80) and the Uruguayan Cristhian Stuani (90+5) after a precise cross from Savinho. Robert Lewandowski (19) and Ilkay Gundogan (90+2) converted for Barça.

The most vibrant moment of the match on matchday 16, played at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium, was experienced in injury time, when the result was 3-2. Lewandowski had the opportunity to achieve an agonizing tie, but the cross that reached him in the six-yard box connected with his shoulder, instead of his head, and the ball went out. And in the next play came the fourth for those led by Míchel.
Atlético de Madrid climbed onto the LaLiga podium
Girona now leads the Spanish championship with two points ahead of Real Madrid, who drew 1-1 with Betis on Saturday. Third was Atlético de Madrid, who on this day beat Almería 2-1 with suffering, last in the table and the only club this season that still does not know what a victory is.
