FT: Barcelona 2-4 Girona
A historic night for Girona, who record their first ever La Liga win over Barcelona in style.
And it could have greater implications in the title race.
Although there is still a long way to go, their fans will certainly be dreaming of a remarkable title triumph tonight...
FT: Barcelona 2-4 Girona
What about Barcelona?
Xavi's side are seven points off the pace - but it is not for a want of trying.
Barcelona attempted 31 shots in this game - the highest total for any team in a single match in La Liga this season.
But despite appearing in control for large parts of the match, they have fallen to defeat and are left with plenty to think about.
FT: Barcelona 2-4 Girona
With 16 games played, Girona are top in Spain.
Just one defeat this season, to second-placed Real Madrid.
But surely, if they were not already, they must be taken seriously now after beating Barcelona at the (temporary) home of the defending champions.
FT: Barcelona 2-4 Girona
A deserved player of the match award for Miguel Gutierrez, who was absolutely terrific this evening - as were the rest of his team-mates - and scored that important second goal before half-time.
Barcelona 2-4 Girona
Into the eighth minute of added time.
The Girona players and staff are lining up around the bench in anticipation of the final whistle.
And there it is!
What a scoreline. What a result. Girona are top of La Liga after scoring four at Barcelona.
Cristhian Stuani
They won't be stopped now!
Girona go direct from a free-kick and Portu picks the ball up on the left of the box before lofting a cross to Cristhian Stuani at the back post.
Inaki Pena gets across, but Stuani is able to squeeze the ball in to surely confirm victory.
Barcelona 2-3 Girona
The home fans sense there is another goal in this for their side.
Girona are scrapping away, desperately trying to reach the finish line. The seconds continue to tick down.
Ilkay Gundogan
Barcelona aren't quite done yet!
With three minutes of added time remaining, Ilkay Gundogan does brilliantly to swivel and fire in to give Xavi's men hope of rescuing a result.
Barcelona 1-3 Girona
Almost a stunning team goal from Girona, but they can't add the finishing touch after a delightful build up.
In to five minutes of added time we go. Girona are almost there.
Barcelona 1-3 Girona
Fermin Lopez goes for the spectacular overhead kick after the ball pinballs around the Girona box, but he sends it over.
Barcelona have had 26 shots, 10 on target, but they've struggled for quality in front of Paulo Gazzaniga's goal.
Barcelona 1-3 Girona
Another switch for Girona.
Jhon Solis is called upon for the remaining minutes as Ivan Martin is withdrawn.
Barcelona 1-3 Girona
Jules Kounde sees a speculative effort blocked by Aleix Garcia.
Can Girona see this out?
Ilkay Gundogan heads over under pressure as the hosts continue to push for a response.
But they're rapidly running out of time...
Barcelona 1-3 Girona
Girona are heading top of La Liga.
Two points above Real Madrid - and seven clear of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona - unless Xavi's side can pull off a remarkable fightback in the closing stages.
It's shaping up to be a very interesting season in the Spainish top flight.
Valery Fernandez
Incredible!
Girona are on the verge of a famous, famous win.
It's all so simple for the visitors with Barcelona stretched in pursuit of an equaliser. A long ball up the field leads to Cristhian Stuani teeing up fellow substitute Valery Fernandez to slot in past Inaki Pena to the delight of the away fans.
Barcelona 1-2 Girona
Xavi brings on Fermin Lopez in place of Pedri.
Can Barcelona create the chance they need?
Barcelona 1-2 Girona
A double change now for Girona as Michel attempts to see out this significant victory.
Portu and Valery Fernandez come in for Viktor Tsygankov and Yan Couto with just over 10 minutes to go.
Barcelona 1-2 Girona
Another attempt by Ilkay Gundogan, who hasn't been scared to have a go this half, but again it's nothing too challenging for Paulo Gazzaniga.
Barcelona 1-2 Girona
Joao Cancelo is down and holding his face following a collision. Girona are doing a good job of disrupting Barcelona at the moment and they're managing to have some possession of their own as we head towards the final 15 minutes.
Barcelona 1-2 Girona
A first change by Girona manager Michel.
Cristhian Stuani, who at 37 years and 51 days became the third oldest player to score two goals in a La Liga game in the 21st century with his double against Valencia last time out, replaces Artem Dovbyk up front.
