The FC Barcelona has missed a golden opportunity to consolidate its position at the top of LaLiga EA Sports 2024-25. The team led by Hansi Flick failed to take advantage of their closest rival's stumble in the fight for the top spot, Real Madrid, who only managed a 3-3 draw against Rayo Vallecano. Instead, Barça fell 0-1 to CD Leganés, breaking a historic streak of consecutive winless matches at the Barcelona team's home. Before this unfortunate match, the Blaugrana had won all visits of the 'pepinero' team to their home ground.

Now, this surprising defeat against Borja Jiménez's team has highlighted Barcelona's difficulties in earning three points when the opponent takes the lead on the scoreboard. Throughout the season, the Catalan club has failed to overturn matches in which they have fallen behind. The last successful comeback occurred on August 27, when, following an early goal by Unai López in the ninth minute, Barça turned the game around with goals from Pedri González in the 60th minute and Dani Olmo in the 82nd minute.

AS Monaco 2-1 FC Barcelona | UEFA Champions League 2024-25 | September 19

From that point on, Barcelona failed to effectively turn the score in their favor on five occasions when the opponent scored first. The first of these instances took place on September 19 in a UEFA Champions League match against AS Monaco.

In that game, the Culés fell behind 1-0 with a goal from Maghnes Akliouche in the 16th minute. Although Lamine Yamal managed to equalize with a goal in the 28th minute, FC Barcelona ended up being defeated when, in the 71st minute, George Ilenikhena scored the decisive goal for the 2-1 victory.

CA Osasuna 4-2 FC Barcelona | LaLiga EA Sports 2024-25 | September 28

This was possibly one of the few occasions when Barcelona showed some signs of a reaction to the adversity of falling behind. In other matches, such as the one against CA Osasuna on September 28, Barça failed to equalize the score at any point.

On that occasion, which ended with a 4-2 scoreline in favor of the Pamplona team, the 'rojillo' squad scored a couple of goals to solidify their lead on the scoreboard, one from Ante Budimir in the 18th minute and another from Bryan Zaragoza in the 28th minute. Barcelona reduced the deficit to 2-1 with a goal from Pau Víctor in the 53rd minute, but Osasuna added two more goals, one from Budimir in the 72nd minute and another from Abel Bretones in the 85th minute, leaving no chance for a Blaugrana team that only managed to narrow the gap with a goal from Lamine Yamal in the 89th minute.

Real Sociedad 1-0 FC Barcelona | LaLiga EA Sports 2024-25 | November 10

Once again, Barcelona found themselves trailing on the scoreboard and failed to react, as was the case on November 10 in their LaLiga EA Sports match against Real Sociedad. They couldn't overturn the 1-0 lead in favor of Sheraldo Becker, marked in the 33rd minute, which turned out to be the only goal of the match.

FC Barcelona 1-2 UD Las Palmas | LaLiga EA Sports 2024-25 | November 30

On the other hand, in the match against UD Las Palmas on November 30, a special day after celebrating the club's 125th anniversary, Barcelona suffered a tough setback. A goal from Sandro Ramírez, a former player from the club, put the score at 0-1 in the 49th minute, which was later equalized by Raphinha in the 61st minute, but ultimately the victory went to the Canary Islands team with a goal from Fábio Silva in the 67th minute, sealing a 1-2 result.

FC Barcelona 0-1 CD Leganés | LaLiga EA Sports 2024-25 | December 15

This latest stumble against CD Leganés has once again shown Barcelona's inability to react when the opponent scores first. After Sergio González scored in the fourth minute, despite having the entire match ahead and creating numerous opportunities to change the result in their favor, Barça failed to do so and had to accept the bitter defeat. This setback undoubtedly begins to create a 'crisis' atmosphere in LaLiga EA Sports for Barcelona under Hansi Flick.
