Barcelona stormed back to La Liga action with a 4-1 win away at rivals Girona.

La Blaugrana have now won all five of their opening games in the new campaign in a perfect start to life in Catalonia for Hansi Flick.

Lamine Yamal scored twice on the road at Girona, in another impressive performance from the 17-year-old, as Barcelona now look forward to the start of their UEFA Champions League campaign.

The Catalans head to AS Monaco on September 19 but midfield star Dani Olmo is an injury doubt for the trip.

The Spain international was withdrawn in the second half at the Estadi Montilvi due to a muscle overload after a busy start to the season.

Olmo returned early from Spain duty during the September international break, due to a minor injury, but he was passed fit to face Girona.

Flick confirmed in his post-match press conference the former RB Leipzig playmaker will now be assessed in the coming days with a decision on his fitness made later in the week.

If Olmo misses out for Barcelona in Monaco, Marc Casado could be recalled to Flick's midfield, after being rested for the Girona win.
