Watch: Barcelona 3-1 Girona, Match Review

Barcelona defeat Girona in their second game of Pre-season ahead of the 2021/22 campaign with goals from Gerard Piqué, Rey Manaj, and Memphis Depay. We were also treated to plenty of standout performances from Barca B stars, who surely must be given more opportunities in the first team sooner rather than later. Check out our full match review below:

The first half was an even one overall, with Samu Sáiz starring for Girona. But it was Barcelona who took a 2-goal lead by the 23rd minute, with goals through Gerard Piqué from a penalty won by the impressive Baldé, as well as yet another Rey Manaj strike – his fourth goal in just two pre season games.

Memphis Depay entered the fold just before the half-time whistle, much to the delight of the Blaugrana faithful, and the Dutch forward capped off an exciting debut with a late goal from the penalty spot. The likes of Álex Collado, Pablo Gavi and Antoine Griezmann also impressed in the second half.
