Despite a promising start to the season, Barcelona has faced turbulence lately after to lose again at home. CD Leganes was executioner.

FC Barcelona stay as leader in Spain , but added another defeat at home.

Despite a promising start to the season, Barcelona has faced turbulence lately, recording just one victory in their last six league encounters and losing three of those matches, which has allowed their competitors to close the gap in the title race.


Hansi Flick's side now find themselves level on points with second-placed Atletico Madrid and hold only a one-point advantage over third-placed, having played one additional game than both challengers.


The newly promoted Leganes defeated Barcelona 1-0 for the first time in their history, and in Barcelona. Hansi Flick's team now shares first place in La Liga with Atletico Madrid and is +1 from Real Madrid, but with a match more than both.


A victory in the last six games, where they have three defeats, both consecutive at home to teams fighting for their stay in La Liga. Barcelona's competitive crisis was confirmed against the newly promoted Leganes, who won for the first time in their history in Barcelona (0-1) and set… fire to the top!

Barça remained first, but now have a roommate with the extremely in-form Atletico Madrid, who also have one match less than the Blaugrana, as well as the third-placed Real, who are at -1.


The visitors surprised with the "good evening" and, after missing a unique opportunity in a tete-a-tete between former Blaugrana player Munir El Haddadi and Inaki Peña, they took the lead on the ensuing corner kick, when captain Sergio, completely unmarked, scored with a header after a cross from Oscar Rodriguez, both "kids" from the Real academy (4').


And on Saturday (21/12, 22:00), for… dessert for 2024, Barcelona hosts Atletico, which has the opportunity to even remain first alone, provided that Hansi Flick's team does not show its good side, after a long time, something it did not do against Borja Jimenez's (also) Madrid team
