If you thought the La Liga title race was over, Girona just slammed on the brakes and threw it wide open.

In a match that had everything - a missed penalty, a controversial foul, a dramatic late winner, a red card in stoppage time, and a fuming coach who barely held himself together at the microphone - Girona defeated Barcelona 2-1 in Matchday 24 to deliver one of the most consequential upsets of the season so far.

Fran Beltran struck in the 86th minute to complete the comeback, a moment seen around the world that set off delirium in Girona and sent shockwaves through the entire Spanish top flight. But the goal itself only tells part of the story.

Let's start with the Lamine Yamal penalty miss in the 48th minute. Yamal - 18 years old, already carrying the weight of Barcelona's present and future on those electric shoulders - stepped up and sent the spot kick wide. If that goes in, the entire complexion of the match changes. Barça takes the lead in the second half, controls the game, and coasts to a comfortable win. Instead, the miss kept the door open, and Girona walked right through it.

Then there's the winning goal and the controversy that surrounded it. Echeverri's challenge on Koundé in the buildup was the kind of foul that split opinion instantly - Barcelona fans were outraged, Girona fans celebrated the referee's decision. These are the moments La Liga lives for.

And then, in stoppage time, Joel Roca was shown a straight red card for Girona - a final exclamation point on a night that already had enough drama for three matches.

Coach Hansi Flick was asked afterward whether he felt Barcelona had to do more than other teams to win the league, given decisions that went against them. His response was a masterpiece of barely concealed frustration: "How I said, no complaining, no excuses. They make their job, sometimes it's not a good job. They are on the same level that we play. Not a good level."
