Barcelona Secures 1-0 Victory Over Leganes, Extends La Liga Lead

Barcelona secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Leganés, thanks to an own goal by defender Jorge Sáenz just after halftime, which allowed them to maintain a seven-point lead at the top of La Liga. Despite the defeat, Leganés put forth a commendable effort, creating more scoring opportunities and nearly equalizing earlier in the match. This win marks Barcelona's 24th consecutive unbeaten game, as they continue their pursuit of a treble, including an upcoming Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid. The match highlighted Barcelona's struggles, as they failed to convert several chances despite dominating possession. With only seven matchdays remaining, the pressure mounts on both Barcelona and their rivals, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, to secure points in the title race. Hansi Flick's team, however, remains focused on their Champions League campaign, preparing for a crucial match against Borussia Dortmund next week.
