Lamine Yamal Brace Vs Girona: Lamine Yamal is off to a dream start this season, as the 17-year-old scores a brace against Girona to hand the side a thumping 4-1 defeat at their home (Estadi Municipal de Montilivi), as FC Barcelona avenge last season's defeat at the hands of same opponents.
Girona were on-song last season, as they did a double over then-league champions, and both the matches ended with a scoreline of 4-2. However, with Hansi Flick in-charge of the Blaugrana this season, Girona could not complete a hat-trick of wins against the opposition, and with that, FC Barcelona remain up top after 5 matches into the season.
Lamine Yamal has now made a goal-contribution in every match played so far this season, with him recording 3 goals and 4 assists in 5 games. Even his goals were a thing of beauty, as he first dispossessed David Lopez on the edge of the box to score a simple goal, and his second goal was sheer placement, as his beautiful shot ended up in the left-corner of the goal, and all Paulo Gazzaniga could do was stand still.

Dani Olmo and Pedri scored FC Barcelona's 3rd and 4th goal of the evening, as the Blaugrana have now registered 15 points, and lead reigning champions Real Madrid by 4 points.

The Blaugrana are on a perfect run this season, as Hansi Flick's men are up and running, and have found their feet early in the season. Hansi Flick has completely changed the fortunes of the sides and FC Barcelona are off to one of the best starts to their season ever.
Robert Lewandowski has hit the ground running in Catalonia, as the Polish striker's re-union with Hansi Flick have brought back the good old days when the duo used to dominate the football world back in 2020, during their time at Bayern Munich, as the 36-year-old endured his most prolific goal-scoring seasons under the German manager.
The Culers will be extremely optimistic with the start they have this season, as new signing Dani Olmo has also showed signs of consistency this early into the season.
