The night of December 15 is one to forget for FC Barcelona. The Catalan team, without Hansi Flick on the bench, was looking to get back on the winning track in LaLiga after the 'stumble' against Betis last matchday (2-2), but a combative Leganés surprised them and left Montjuïc with three points in their pocket.
A striking defeat not only because the blaugranas fell for the second consecutive time at home (Las Palmas and Leganés), but also because, being the most lethal offense on the continent, they could not break through Dmitrovic's goal despite shooting 20 times on target.
The most wasteful Barça of the season
However, of these 20 shots on goal, only 4 were on target. A statistic that highlights the unusual lack of precision of the blaugrana players against the pepinero team, with surprising misses from infallible 'killers' like Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, who this season have been the spearheads of the 71 goals scored by the team in the 23 matches played so far.
The zero against Leganés was the second of the season in these 23 matches. The first occurred at Anoeta, in Flick's team's defeat against Real Sociedad (1-0). A surprising fact considering the effectiveness in front of goal of the culés this season, which highlights the difficult moment the team is going through in the league championship.
