Barcelona Secures Dramatic Win Against Girona

Fermin Torres asserts that Barcelona rightfully claimed victory over Girona during their match on Saturday.

Injury-Time Goal Seals the Win

Key Moments from the Match

  • Coach Hansi Flick was shown a red card for his exuberant celebrations, resulting in a suspension for the upcoming El Clasico against Real Madrid.
  • Following the match, Torres reflected, “Winning in such a manner is sometimes necessary. We both squandered plenty of opportunities. We persevered until the end and managed to score that second goal.”

Torres further commented, “We gave our all until the final whistle. Despite the number of key players sidelined with injuries, many are now making their return… The second half was somewhat frantic, but I genuinely believe we earned this victory, and we achieved it.”

He concluded with a note on his personal condition, stating, “I feel a bit fatigued but overall fine. I’m ready to continue increasing my performance level.”
