Barcelona delivered a commanding performance against Girona, securing a 4-1 victory in the Catalan derby on March 31, 2025. The win propelled Barcelona to the top of LaLiga, moving them three points clear of rivals Real Madrid. Key to the victory was striker Robert Lewandowski, who scored two goals in the second half, increasing his tally for the season to 25 goals, making him the leading scorer in the league.

The match began with Barcelona asserting their dominance early on, with Fermín López and Lewandowski both testing Girona's goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga. Despite several missed opportunities and a disallowed goal for Jules Koundé due to offside, the home side finally broke the deadlock just before halftime when a free kick from Yamal was deflected in off Girona defender Ladislav Krejcí for an own goal.

Girona equalized shortly after the break through Dutch forward Arnaut Danjuma, who curled a shot past Wojciech Szczesny. However, Barcelona quickly regained control of the match. Lewandowski restored their lead with an acrobatic finish from a header by López, and he extended the lead further with a low shot following a counter-attack. Substitute Ferran Torres capped off the scoring late in the match with a well-taken goal, ensuring a comprehensive win for the hosts.

Danjuma acknowledged the challenge posed by Barcelona, stating, “We knew we were up against a great team,” after the match. The result solidifies Barcelona's position at the top of LaLiga as they continue their pursuit of the title under manager Hansi Flick. The victory not only enhances their chances for the championship but also highlights Lewandowski's remarkable form as he continues to defy expectations at 36 years old.
