The pole leads the Catalans to the important success – and keeps the royal at a distance.
Beyond runner FC Barcelona has expanded his lead in the Spanish football league to Rival Real Madrid to three points. The team of former national coach Hansi Flick prevailed 4-1 (1-0) against Girona on Sunday. The day earlier, the royal ones had meanwhile drawn the same with leaders Barca by the 3-2 victory against promoted CD Leganés.
An own goal of Ladislav Krejci (43.), double packer Robert Lewandowski (61./77.) With his goals of the season 24 and 25 and Ferran Torres (86th), Barcelona secured the important three points. For the Catalans it was the ninth league victory in series.
In the run -up to the encounter, Osasuna’s objection against the evaluation of the lost catch -up game in Barcelona (3-0) determined the headlines last Thursday. The opponent of the Flick team doubts about the eligibility of Inigo Martinez.
He had previously canceled his trip to the Spanish national team due to a knee injury. Osasuna justified the objection by the fact that according to FIFA rules a player should not play games for his club in the five calendar days after the end of the handover period.
The game was originally scheduled for March 8. After the death of the Barca Klubarzt Carles Miñarro Garcia, it was canceled and moved to March 27th. “It’s not in my hand,” Flick emphasized on Saturday: “We got three points, I concentrate on that.”
