Lewandowski Runs Rampant as Barcelona Crush Girona in Catalan Derby
FC Barcelona delivered a statement performance with a dominant 4-1 victory over Girona FC in Matchday 29 of La Liga. The Blaugrana's attacking firepower proved too much for their Catalan neighbors, who arrived at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys decimated by injuries.
Robert Lewandowski strengthened his grip on the Pichichi race with a clinical brace, taking his season tally to 25 goals - three clear of Kylian Mbappé. The 35-year-old's performance showcased why he remains one of Europe's most lethal finishers, combining perfectly with teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, whose dangerous cross forced the opening own goal from Krejčí.
