Girona are now very close to confirming their place in next season's Champions League and, in the process, officially ensuring that Real Madrid are La Liga champions. Michel Sanchez's side now lead 4-2 over Barcelona in Montilivi.
The team was 2-1 down in the first half, after Andreas Christensen and Robert Lewandowski scored twice to equal Artem Dovbek's 20th goal of the season. This comeback was inspired by substitute Cristian Porto, who scored one goal and assisted another in the 3-2 scoreline, and has now added his second and fourth for Girona in emphatic fashion.
It's a stunning shot from the winger, as he fires in from just outside the penalty area, leaving Marc-Andre ter Stegen in Barcelona's goal with no chance.
