Put pressure on Real Madrid and take a new step in the title race. Here are the combined missions of FC Barcelona, ​​this Saturday evening, on the lawn of Leganés on the occasion of the 31st day of Liga. Leader of the championship at the kick -off with four points ahead of the Merengues, the Catalan club could widen the gap in the event of a victory at the Municipal of Butarch. Aligned in 4-2-3-1 with Raphinha, Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal in support of Robert Lewandowski, the cups were not long in taking control of operations.

Faced with the Low Loganés block, organized in 5-4-1, Barça was the first time but the center behind Raphinha found no one (2nd). Dominated, the pepineros reacted, however, in stride on a well -conducted counter. With a sharp overflow, Raba deposited Iñigo Martinez before finding Altimira but Szczesny interposed beautifully (12th). Very close to being surprised, the Catalan club resumed possession and projected itself but rose to a perfectly grouped defense. Offensive, Koundé was delighting in the opposing surface but his deviated strike was narrowly diverted by Dmitrovic (22nd).

Barça puts pressure on real

Master of debates, Barça multiplied the offensives. Alerted to its side, Lamine Yamal entered the surface but her razing shot finished his race in the small opposing net (31st). Just before the break, Alex Balde, very close to committing the irreparable after a disputed duel with Altimira, finally gave up his place on injury, in favor of Gerard Martin (41st). Embarrassed by local projections, Barça then made two new scares but took advantage of Raba's imprecision in the last gesture (42nd) and a saving return from Raphinha (45+3rd) to keep his inviolated cage. Hanging on the break, the cups modified their eleven on the return from the locker room. Ronald Araujo gave up his place and the captain's armband at Frenkie de Jong while Eric Garcia fell with a notch.

In the process, Barça opened the scoring … On a center at depth of Raphinha's deep ground towards Lewandowski, Saenz cut the trajectory and cheated on his own goalkeeper (0-1, 48th). Released by this opening of the score, the Catalans then managed quietly and missed the goal of the station wagon after a festival of Fermin Lopez, which crossed his shot too much (58th). Served by Raphinha, Lewadowski saw him his head fleeing the frame (63rd) while Lamine Yamal was still rushing on the opposing goalkeeper (69th). Missed opportunities that did not change anything at the end of a meeting ultimately very open, like this last dangerous but not framed of Diego Garcia (77th) and this saving return of Martinez (90+2nd). With this victory (1-0), Barça temporarily takes seven lengths ahead of the Merengues, who will face up this Sunday. Legans falls in the 19th row.
