In yesterday's match against Girona in Montilivi, Barcelona had only one objective: to win to regain the lead in La Liga, to stay ahead of Real Madrid.
But the Catalan rivals proved difficult and very organized, creating problems for coach Hansi Flick's team.
One of the key moments came at the end of the first half, when a foul by Blind on Olmo led to a penalty for Barça, writes "Gazeta Express".
Young talent Lamine Yamal stepped up to execute it, but the goal didn't come: he hit the left post, goalkeeper Gazzinga stood still, thus missing a golden opportunity.
This was the first penalty Yamal missed in his career, after seven consecutive attempts.
The goal conceded not only marks an important moment for him as a player, but also contributes to a bad statistic for Barcelona: this is the 24th time the team has hit the post or crossbar in these 24 rounds of the championship.
Raphinha, usually the penalty taker, didn't seem very happy about having to give the shot to his teammate, an image that is being widely discussed. /Express newspaper
