Barcelona crashed again. And it might not be that they were not warned because in the previous five games they had only been able to win one. Well, despite this background, Flick's team, although it was Sorg who was on the bench, He came out asleep as if it were nothing to do with them. After three minutes, Iñaki Peña saved the team in a one-on-one with Munir and from the corner he caused, Leganés took the lead on the scoreboard with a strategy play by enforcing an exceptional block on Sergio González.
From here on, a drama. Because there were 86 minutes left to play and there was time for everything. But this Barça is 'missing'. Lewandowski has disappeared in the last few games, Raphinha tries, Olmo too… but they didn't go from there. The bench did not contribute anything. Ferran this time was not revulsive as in the previous games; Gavi offers strength and that's it and Frenkie de Jong didn't even play. The Dutch thing is starting to be the great mystery of this team. Barça does not react and is beginning to raffle the lead. Atleti have already tied them on points. An inexplicable drama.
Bad return of Eric García. The defender returned to the center of the defense after months of not playing in this position because when he left Flick used him as a pivot. He entered Cubarsí's place and after four minutes he could not follow his mark on Sergio González who scored the only goal of the game.
There are times when you don't need to say a word to get into a fight. It happened at game time when Casadó had to take a foul and instead of doing so he was engaged in an argument with the rival bench. Pedri went at full speed for the ball, planted it on the ground and served quickly without saying a word to Casadó. Flick had already said it in the preview, he does not want his players arguing with the referees or opponents.
ButWhat happens to Lewandowski?? It is unrecognizable. It's hard to believe what is happening to the Pole. Once again he went to the bench early with 25 minutes remaining. Nothing to object. The Pole missed very clear chances against Leganés that were inappropriate for the Pichichi of the competition.
What happened with Dmitrovic was outrageous. There are times when a goalkeeper eats away at the forwards' morale and that happened in Montjuïc. The Leganés goalkeeper was one of the keys to the match. Especially in the first half in which he made three stops of enormous merit. Two to Lewandowski and an exceptional mitt to Raphinha.
