In an unexpected turn of events in the LaLiga season, league leaders Barcelona suffered a bitter defeat against Leganes, leaving the fans at Camp Nou speechless. As early as the fourth minute of the match, Leganes captain Sergio González made a strong statement by skillfully heading a corner into the net, giving Barcelona's goalkeeper Iñaki Peña no chance.
Despite an impressive ball possession rate of over 80 percent, Barcelona failed to break through the visitors' defensive barrier. The disciplined formation of Leganes' five-man backline proved to be an insurmountable bulwark, causing the hosts to squander important opportunities. The increasingly lackluster performance of the Catalans leaves fans and experts alike doubting their current form in the domestic league.
While FC Barcelona continues to perform strongly in the Champions League with five wins from six games, they have been struggling for consistency in LaLiga for more than a month. In the last six matches, they have managed just one victory. Nevertheless, they maintain the top position with 38 points, level with Atlético Madrid. Real Madrid is lurking just one point behind in third place and, like Atlético, still has a game in hand. Modern Financial Markets Data
