The result ends the Catalan fine run of four consecutive domestic victories.

After Real Madrid’s surprising 3-2 loss to Villareal they would have preferred to take full advantage with the 3 points, but it wasn’t to be. However with 13 points gap and 10 games left to play Barcelona still remain red-hot favorite to clinch the title and nothing short of a miracle could stop them from that feat.

Barcelona had their chances early on and could have broken the deadlock twice in the opening 10 minutes.

Robert Lewandowski curled the ball narrowly over the crossbar after an Ansu Fati strike, while a sweeping Gazzaniga dive saved Santiago Bueno from putting the ball into his own net.

Another fantastic Gazzaniga’s stop denied Raphinha before the Girona goalkeeper – almost inside his own net –evaded Ronald Araujo’s flick from the resulting corner.

Girona had a great chance to stun the home crowd right after the interval, but Castellanos’ shot was saved by Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
