Sunday evening at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium, the FC Barcelona had to win to keep the lead in La Liga alone. Against Leganés, the Catalans chased the score following a quick goal from the visitors, from Sergio Gonzales, with a header from a corner. Despite their 20 shots, the Blaugrana did not manage to score (0-1). Barça is still leader, but with one game more than Atlético de Madrid, who have as many points.
Cold picked
Barça concedes the opening score in the first action of the match, when S. Gonzalez scores with a header from a corner (0-1, 3rd). This goal has the merit of waking up the Catalans, who monopolize the leather and launch into the attack. On a cross from Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski is alone in front of Dmitrovic but comes up against the visiting goalkeeper (10th).
The Catalans try to equalize, despite the blatant waste of time by the Leganés players. Raphinha cuts a cross to the near post from Alejandro Baldé and finds the crossbar (33rd). On the following action, Pedri alerts Lewandowski behind the area. The Pole succeeds in his control on the coat rack and stumbles on Dmitrovic (34th).
Barça pushes but lacks inspiration
Faced with a folded defense, the Catalans lack precision in the last gesture. After the hour mark, Fermin Lopez and Ferran Torres replaced Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski to try to surprise the opposing defense (66th). Gavi and Cubarsi are also thrown into battle.
A quarter of an hour from the end, Ferran Torres heels for Jules Koundé, who crosses his shot too much even though he was ideally placed! (79th).
Before hosting Atlético de Madrid next Saturday, the Blaugrana lose three points in the title race. They will have to win against the Colchoneros to avoid being put in front. Force Barça!
