Barcelona vs Girona, La Liga: Match Thread, Live Updates

FULL-TIME, Barcelona 0-0 Girona: A very disappointing attacking performance from Barça, who could have easily lost and didn’t deserve anything from the game. They’re now 13 points clear at the top of the table with 10 minutes to go which is the only bit of good news from this one, but the team’s showing left a whole lot to be desired.

HALFTIME, Barcelona 0-0 Girona: A hard-fought, intense first half at Camp Nou with good moments in attack for both sides. Barça had the better chances but are lacking composure and precision in the final third, and they need to be more clinical to get the winning goals in the second half.
