Barcelona are looking to extend their La Liga lead as they travel to face Leganés at Butarque. Sitting at the top of the table with a four-point advantage over second-place Real Madrid, Barcelona will be eager to further strengthen their position with a win in this fixture.
After a 4-0 thumping of Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, Barcelona are in strong form, and under coach Hansi Flick, the team has become a well-oiled machine.
With players like Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal in terrific form, Barcelona’s attacking prowess will be a major concern for Leganés.
Barca will be especially motivated to bounce back after a 1-0 shock loss to Leganés earlier in the season, a result they will be keen to rectify.
Leganés, however, will not be an easy opponent. The relegation-threatened side is fighting hard for survival and will be determined to pull off another shock result against the La Liga giants.
They showed good fighting spirit in their 3-2 loss to Real Madrid recently. Leganés has shown they can be a tough opponent for bigger clubs, and they will look to capitalize on Barcelona’s potential vulnerabilities.
For Barcelona, this match is a crucial opportunity to extend their lead over Madrid and take another step closer to securing the La Liga title. A victory here would not only add to their growing momentum but also keep them firmly in control of the league race.
