It is just not straightforward for individuals who journey on the heights and benefit from the phampions’ phases to return to the league working hours and face rivals to beat to keep away from the descent just like the Leganés. This explains Barca reduction on the finish of the crash and congratulations for Iñigo Martínez. The central was the chief of a frontrunner who within the absence of seven days for the top of the championship provides seven factors of benefit over a Madrid that this Sunday visits the Alavés.
The transcendence and in addition the problem of the Butarque Party, in addition to the benefit for Tuesday’s European occasion in Dortmund (4-0), conditioned Flick’s alignment. They solely rested Cubarsí and Jong to play Araujo and Eric. The calculated rotations didn’t have an effect on Pedri or Lewandowski, nor to the trident, as a result of in any case Barcelona is defined above all for his or her objectives: 82 in 48 video games among the many three strikers for a complete of 146. The common of three objectives was not fulfilled exactly earlier than the Leganés. It doesn’t appear a coincidence if one takes under consideration that Borja Jiménez’s staff has already zero to Flick in Montjuïc, a consequence that was solely repeated up to now within the go to to San Sebastián (1-0).
The Barca ones went for the sport as quickly as they get middle, very stretched with Lamine and Raphinha, direct and deep from the core to face a protection that began primarily based on the peak on the bucket court docket. Barça marked the rhythm from the possession of the ball and the Leganés counterattacks Diomandé, who didn’t cease going through Koundé, and Dani Raba’s capability, wonderful in an help to Altimira who demanded a great intervention by Szczesny. The play alert the Barcelona, who went on to information the sport, much less daring and extra cautious, shocked by the outbursts of Leganés, which proved to have the sport very effectively ready and higher studied to Barcelona.
Reacted the break was solely counted by Barcelonista a koundé public sale rejected by Dmitrovic whereas Raba and Diomandé insisted on surrounding Szczesny. The encounter matched very quickly to move later by the hands of the Leganés to fulfill the followers who virtually stuffed Butarque. Very uncomfortable, Barça couldn’t give pace to the ball or put collectively a great move, nor finish a play towards the great cease of assist and interruptions mounted by Borja Jiménez. There had been no areas within the space of a Leganés who pressed working each time he recovered the leather-based to demand the Barca, and particularly bucket, who was injured in a hand in hand with Altimira on the entrance of the Barcelona space.
The Barca defensive struggling was rising, to the purpose that Raphinha averted with a scorzo that the ball arrived in Raba, solely earlier than Szczesny. Flick resorted to Jong for Araujo to attempt to change the inertia of a match that turned in favor of Leganés. The Uruguayan was identified for his issue to throw the offside line and exit with the ball performed from the world. And then Leganés confused when he recognized Gerard Martín because the weakest hyperlink and gave a objective at his personal door. The Azulgrana Aggressive Lateral misplaced and recovered on the similar time the ball badly managed by Óscar and activated Raphinha, whose middle was topped within the first stick by Jorge Sáenz, harassed by the shadow of Lewandowski.
The Barcelona gamers once more managed the sport for a second and had a wonderful event to shut the sport when Fermín didn’t handle a superb private play towards Dmitrovic. The motion had a sedative impact for Barça and stirred the Leganés, who returned to the load, indignant with the referee for not whistling penalty when the ball hit the elbow of Iñigo Martínez. The change wheel additional fueled Borja Jiménez. Barça didn’t discover its place on the court docket, delivered to an trade of blows that dedicated Szczesny greater than Dmitrovic as present in a shot by Diego García. The courageous native affront even prompted the looks within the Cubarsí subject.
Uncertainty, nonetheless, remained till the top, when Iñigo Martínez masterfully rejoice a ball that Munir was going to complete off. The protection and the goalkeeper, these days very solvent, put the poster and credit score of the three strikers protected: Lamine, Lewandowski and Raphinha. The objective that Iñigo presumably averted and the one marked by Jorge Sáenz pressured the fortune of a frontrunner who stays undefeated in 2025 – there are 24 video games (and 12 of them to zero) -, a determine that was not reached for the reason that time of Ernesto Valverde on the bench.
