Barça 0-1 Leganés
Leganés had not won away from home in Primera since July 2020
FC Barcelona was defeated by a newly promoted rival, who had not won any of the eight away games they had played this season
Leganés won the match against FC Barcelona at Montjuic. Despite shooting 20 times and having 3 clear chances, the Blaugrana team was not able to score a goal. The visiting team started the match with an early goal, scored completely unmarked by Sergio González. This goal gave the perfect turnaround for the pepineros to unite in a low block and maintain that tactic for the entire match. Also, kicks and time wasting were the order of the day but, according to the referee's criteria, there were practically no punishable actions.
For both teams, yesterday's match is more than just three points. On the one hand, for Barça, it is confirmation that something is not right, as they have only been able to collect 5 points out of 18 played. It seems that, in LaLiga, the steamroller team that swept everything away has rested on its laurels, while in Europe it continues to achieve positive results. However, for Leganés, this victory is not just another one.
Five years without winning in the First Division away from Butarque
The team led by Borja Jiménez has played a total of 9 away games in the 24/25 season. Until the victory at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, their away streak was 5 draws and 3 losses. Adding the three points collected at the leader's home, they have managed to win for the first time away from home this season.
However, 'Lega' has not only broken its streak without a win on a foreign field this season, but it goes back five years. The last season that the Madrid team was in the First Division was 19/20, as their last victory was at San Mamés, in July 2020, scoring 0-2 against Athetic Club. Since that day, the blue and white team had not won away from home, until they came up against FC Barcelona.
