Los Blancos beat Real Sociedad on Saturday to overtake the Catalans and Hansi Flick's side could not defeat Girona in an gripping derby clash to reclaim the lead. "In the end Girona deserved it, they had a lot of chances, we defended very badly," admitted Flick. Ferran Torres fired a good chance wide for Barca and Raphinha drove against the upright as Flick's side pushed for the opener. "The (officials) do their job, sometimes it's not a good job, but they are on the same level as we played, so it's maybe not a good level." "Three points against Barca are more than three points, normally they beat almost all teams," said happy Girona coach Michel Sanchez.
