The defeat was the second in less than a week for Barca and left them second in the table, two points behind Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>A win on Monday would have taken the defending champions above their archrivals, but, instead, a crisis brewed for coach Hansi Flick, whose side lost to Atletico Madrid 4-0 in the Copa del Rey last week.<\/p>\n<p>The second loss came even though Barcelona took the lead early in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>Yamal hit the post with his spot kick on the stroke of half-time, but 14 minutes into the second period, Pau Cubarsi met Jules Kounde\u2019s cross from the right and placed his header perfectly into the top corner.<\/p>\n<p>The goal was Barcelona\u2019s 100th in all competitions this season, making them the second club in Europe\u2019s big five domestic leagues to hit the century mark after Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n<p>However, Girona roared back into the game just three minutes later.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona\u2019s Joan Garcia was already the busier of the two goalkeepers, but he could not stop Thomas Lemar side-footing home from close range after nice work from Vladyslav Vanat on the left wing.<\/p>\n<p>Both sides pushed for a decisive second, and it was Girona who executed with three minutes remaining, substitute Fran Beltran scoring with a low shot from just inside the box.<\/p>\n<p>Girona\u2019s Joel Roca was sent off in the dying seconds, but there were no more goals.<\/p>\n<p>The victory ended a three-game winless streak for Girona and lifted them by three places into 12th, equal on points with Getafe.<\/p>\n<p>Only seven points separate the 11 clubs from eighth to 18th in La Liga.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barca miss a chance to move above Real Madrid in the Spanish league as Catalan neighbours Girona climb to 12th.
