Barcelona restored their five-point lead over Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga after winning 2-0 away to Girona on Sunday. Nelson Semedo and Lionel Messi were on the scoresheet for the Blaugrana at the Estadi Montilivi.
The hosts' cause wasn't helped when they were reduced to 10 men six minutes after the break after Bernardo Espinosa walked for a second bookable offence.
Barca's win is the perfect response after Atleti had moved to within two points of top spot by beating Getafe 2-0 at home on Saturday.
What's Next?
Barca host Sevilla in the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-final at the Camp Nou on Wednesday, hoping to overcome a 2-0 aggregate deficit, before a home league game against Valencia three days later.
