As things stand, Real Madrid will have to wait to be crowned La Liga champions and Girona's place in the Champions League next season will stay unconfirmed.

It's half-time at the Estadio Montilivi and Barcelona lead thanks to a Robert Lewandowski penalty just minutes go.

What a fast and ferocious 45 minutes of action that was and no doubt there'll be more to come in the second half.

Girona 1-1 Barcelona

VAR are checking for a penalty for Barcelona after Lamine Yamal is brought down.

The referee has been sent to the screen... You know what this usually means.

Sergi Roberto is shown a yellow card for dissent.

Not long remains in this first half with Barcelona attacking once again with Lamine Yamal.

The 16-year-old is brought down in the box and he wants a penalty.

VAR may look at this.

Jules Kounde plays a lovely lofted ball for Fermin Lopez but he's flagged offside when one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

First yellow card of the game as Artem Dovbyk shows great strength to turn Ronald Araujo and the defender drags the striker back in cynical fashion.

Barcelona have had 63% of the ball in this first half as they look to tighten their grasp on second place.

Savio looks lively. He breaks free from Jules Kounde again but Daley Blind's cross is well defended by Barcelona.

Now it's Paulo Gazzaniga's turn to pull off a great save!

Joao Cancelo crosses for Ilkay Gundogan and the former Man City men almost put Barcelona back into the lead.

Somehow, the referee gives a goal kick and I've now idea how he's come to that conclusion.

Barcelona have had the majority of the play in the opening half an hour but Girona look as though they could score every time they go forward.

Wouldn't like to predict this one.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen has saved his side with a great stop!

Savio has got the better of Jules Kounde more than once now and he found a ball into the box where Viktor Tsygankov forced the save.

Chance for Girona but it breaks down in the box. Barcelona counter through Lamine Yamal but the home side deal with the attack well.

Not seen much of Robert Lewandowski so far but he is the sort of striker that can pop up at any time and score.

The weather looks great in Girona, by the way. Could do with some of that sun here in England.

Jules Kounde is caught and Savio breaks. The Frenchman gets back and atones well for his error.

Savio drops a shoulder and gets a cross into the box. Viktor Tsygankov fires goalwards but his effort is deflected for a corner.

Girona's first corner comes to nothing.
