A bipolar Barça and a great Leganés

Barça returned to Laliga and showed that it is a team that is strong against the strong, but that In the face of those who are supposed to be weak, it fails repeatedly. It is inexplicable that a team that has been able to beat Bayern 4-1, Madrid 0-4 at the Bernabéu and Borussia Dortmund 2-3 this week is capable of sign only five of the last 18 points in the domestic championship after leaving points against Real Sociedad, Betis, Celta, Rayo and losing at home against Leganés losing 0-1. Leganés, who arrived at Montjuïc in trouble, one point away from relegation, took the game after deactivating all the resources of the Catalan team. Barça is a teenager. A bipolar team that lost its fourth game of the course. The second in a row.

Hansi Flick, absent from the bench, but directing the Blaugrana machinery, decided that on this occasion there would not be a general rotation beyond that Cubarsí will leave his position to Eric García, who has been forgotten since he was injured. The rest of the players were the same ones who made a splash in Dortmund. But it is being discovered that the Barça of the Champions is one and that of LaLiga is another.

At the start, Leganés needed five minutes to defeat the Blaugrana. Iñaki Peña saved a chance from Munir after three minutes by forcing a corner kick that Óscar kicked and that Sergio González finished off the goal as if it were a training session. 0-1 and the Blaugrana team was starting to get their act together, but he met a gigantic Dmitrovic, the goalkeeper of the Madrid team.

The Leganés goalkeeper was a nightmare for Barcelona’s forwards. He took three goals from Lewandowski in the first half and scored with a save from Raphinha’s shot that hit the crossbar. in the middle of a siege by a Barcelona team that was subduing Leganés, but was alive at the half.

The Blaugrana team did more than enough to score a goal before the intermission, but leaving aside the display of the Serbian goalkeeper, finesse was lacking. Lewandowski did not finish, Olmo was not doing well in the controls and Lamine, Barcelona’s final solution, had nothing going for him and also from the 15th minute he was half limp due to a tackle by Neyou which made him ask for the change in the first instance, although he later stopped the substitution.

Barça remained firm at half-time and remained unchanged. They were aware that they had played to have a better result, but that they were losing three key points.

Seeing that nothing changed in the match scenario, Emergency maneuvers began to be carried out from the Barcelona bench. Lewandowski and Olmo, denied in the final meters, left their place to Ferran Torres and Fermín and minutes later Cubarsí and Gavi were added. Barça was already desperate.

And desperately, Barcelona is not working. It creates danger, but it doesn’t have that intimidating power that more forged teams have. There is a feeling that if everything doesn’t go well for Barça from the first moment, a burden falls on them that they are unable to escape. At Barcelona, ​​either everything works smoothly from the beginning or there seems to be an incontestable wall.

It is true that Dmitrovic was a titan in the first half, but in the second Barcelona’s exercise of impotence was depressing for the culés, They also had the opportunity to gain ground again against Real Madrid.

But the bipolarity of this team of teenagers is an enigma to discover, especially when you find yourself facing a team like Leganés that was great in all records. He scored what he had to score and defended everything. The League is burning.
