FC Barcelona blew their neighbours, Girona aside and took a 4-1 victory in the Catalonian Derby at the Estadi Montilivi here on Sunday. Barca had Lamine Yamal to thank for both first-half goals. The first came from nowhere. When the teenager pounced on David Lopez and won the ball. Yamal stunned Montilivi with a well-struck finish and followed that up with a second goal just seven minutes later.
 
The home defence did a poor job of clearing a free kick, and the man of the moment was waiting on the edge of the area to collect the ball, pick his spot, and slot it deftly home.

Girona had hardly attacked the Barcelona defence until Ter Stegen produced the save of the day to deny Bryan Gil from point-blank range and immediately after was preparing to face a penalty after Inigo Martinez handled in the area.
