Barcelona suffered another setback at home, this time losing to Leganés, extending their poor run to just one win in the last six matches. This slump has caused Flick’s team, who have collected only 5 points from the last 18 available, to lose their advantage over Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid in the league standings.
Barcelona fell 0-1 to Leganés at Montjuïc. Flick’s side, with the manager serving a two-match suspension, failed to overcome an early goal by the Madrid-based team, losing their second consecutive home game. This defeat marks the fifth disappointing result in Barcelona’s last five matches. Here are Barcelona’s recent results:
- Real Sociedad 1-0 Barcelona
- Celta 2-2 Barcelona
- Barcelona 1-2 Las Palmas
- Mallorca 1-5 Barcelona
- Real Betis 2-2 Barcelona
- Barcelona 0-1 Leganés
This poor run of form, with only one victory against Mallorca (an advanced fixture from matchday 19 due to Barcelona and Mallorca’s participation in the Spanish Super Cup), highlights the team’s current struggles. Barcelona has complicated their La Liga campaign, losing all their advantage over their competitors: Atlético Madrid now has the same points (38), while Real Madrid is just one point behind (37), both teams with a game in hand.
Bottom of the form table
Barcelona has been the worst-performing team in La Liga between matchdays 13 and 18, accumulating only 2 points. This statistic reflects the dire situation of a team that started the season impressively but has now deflated.
