The FC Barcelona knew this trip to a trampling leganes. Faced with a team from a low table in the fight for its survival, the men of Hansi Flick suffered, struggled to impose their pace, but finally snatched an essential victory in the title race. With this narrow success, the Blaugranas temporarily put Real Madrid at seven points and maintain the pressure at the top of the ranking. The content will leave questions before the final sprint.
The start of the Barcelona match was intense but sterile. A few centers without follow -up of Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, an unpacked strike from Lewandowski on a free kick, but nothing really dangerous. It was even Legans who almost opened the scoring in the 12th minute, with a huge opportunity for Altimira, ex-Catalan, well stopped by Szczesny. A free warning for defensively feverish Catalans. Balde's injury before the break added to the confusion of a barça cut in half and unbalanced.
Flick tried to bring mastery with the entrance to Frenkie de Jong to the break. And quickly, Barça was rewarded: on a tense center in Raphinha, Jorge Sáenz, wanting to be ahead of Lewandowski, marked his camp (0-1, 48th). A happy but oh so liberating goal. Behind, Fermín missed the break ball, and despite a clearer mastery of the game, Barcelona has never managed to take shelter.
Barça puts the pressure on Real even more
Opposite, Leganés hung on. Raba believed to equalize but his goal was logically refused for offside. Szczesny was still decisive, and Iñigo Martínez saved his team in stoppages on a last duel with Munnir. The last minutes were crisp, and Barça got out of the tear.
This kind of victory is not spectacular, but it is precious. Barça capitalizes and continues to grab, while Real Madrid is going through a difficult period. In an uncertain end of the season, each point taken in pain could weigh heavily. The dynamics are Catalan, but mathematically everything is still possible.
