The goal against his Jorge Saenz camp (48th) allows Blaugrana to consolidate their first place with temporarily 7 points ahead of Real Madrid. Their opponents remain 19th.

If Jules Koundé showed its technical qualities in the opposing surface and alerted Marko Dmitrovic (22nd), the Barcelona defense remained friable because they are not very rigorous in an open and intense first period. Alex Baldé paid the price and came out on injury after a limit intervention (41st). Author of 4 goals on the previous 3 championship days, Raba returned to the charge and shortly missed the right skylight of Szczesny (43rd) then Raphinha had to make an important defensive return to the Legane attacker (45th+4).

Raphinha focused on the left and pushed Saenz to the CSC by tackling under the pressure of Robert Lewandowski (0-1, 48th).

All this gave confidence to visitors when their opponents took a hit on their heads. FERMIN LOPEZ could even have sink the point home but missed the finish at six meters after a superb festival in the area of ​​truth (58th). Instead, Leganés regained energy and almost obtained a penalty on a center counterter of Valentin Rosier (62nd) then the goal of Raba was logically refused for an offside (70th).

Barely out of the bench of pepineros, Diego Garcia missed equalization at the same time as the frame on an overly crossed recovery (76th). Saenz came close to the double against his camp (81st) in a late electric match. Also come into play (75th), the former Barcelona Munnir spun in the axis and was preparing to lobs Szczesny when Inigo Martinez made a superb tackle to stop it (90th+2).

After defeating Barça in December then Atlético in January (1-0) and made Real Madrid doubt at the end of March (3-2), Leganés tilts shortly but also underwent a 4th defeat on his last 5 games. Barça takes a new step towards the title and is already turned towards his quarter-final return from the Champions League against Dortmund which he will approach in confidence after his broad success in the first leg (4-0).
