Sun Mar 30 15:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Lewandowski Double Leads Barcelona to Victory Over Girona; Szczęsny Extends Unbeaten Streak

**Barcelona, Spain** – FC Barcelona maintained their lead atop La Liga with a 4-1 victory over Girona, thanks to a brace from Robert Lewandowski and a continued unbeaten streak for goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny. The win comes after Real Madrid’s 3-2 win over Leganés, which had temporarily closed the gap between the two rivals.

Lewandowski’s two goals, scored in the second half, proved crucial after Girona’s Arnaut Danjuma equalized in the second half. The Polish striker’s performance ensured Barcelona’s comfortable victory and extended his lead in the Pichichi Trophy race, albeit temporarily, as Kylian Mbappé also scored twice for PSG in a different match.

Szczęsny, also Polish, continued his remarkable run, extending his unbeaten streak to 18 games since joining Barcelona. This sets a new club record for consecutive games without a defeat by a goalkeeper.

Barcelona faced challenges throughout the match, including a missed early chance by Lewandowski and a period of dominance from Girona. The Catalan side ultimately prevailed thanks to the late-game heroics of Lewandowski and strong performances from other players like Lamine Yamal who contributed to the win with a goal. Manager Hansi Flick, despite missing key players like Frenkie de Jong and Raphinha due to rest and international duty, praised his team’s resilience.

The match also saw several other notable events, including a controversial VAR review, impressive saves by both goalkeepers and a number of close calls for both sides. The final score leaves Barcelona in a strong position as the La Liga season continues.
