Lewandowski Double Powers Barcelona To 4-1 Win Over Girona

Robert Lewandowski scored twice as Barcelona cruised to a 4-1 victory over Girona on Sunday, moving three points clear at the top of La Liga.

The win came after Real Madrid had drawn level with them on points the day before by defeating Leganes.

The match at the Olympic Stadium saw Barcelona maintain their unbeaten record in 2023, stretching it to 20 games. Despite Real Madrids Kylian Mbappes brace on Saturday, Lewandowskis double kept him three goals ahead in the race for Spains Golden Boot.

Barcelona took the lead in the first half through an own goal by Gironas Ladislav Krejci. Girona equalised early in the second half thanks to Arnaut Danjuma's clinical strike, but Lewandowski's brace and Ferran Torres late goal sealed a dominant win for Barcelona.

Lewandowski, the 36-year-old Polish international, who shows no signs of slowing down, also expressed his desire to continue playing at the highest level for years to come.
