Barcelona returned from the Municipal Stadium of Butarque with a precious 1-0 victory over Leganes in Round 31 of La Liga.
The only goal of the match came in a very strange way, when Jorge Colmiro put the ball into his own net in the 48th minute.
Rafinha sent a low cross towards Robert Lewandowski, but the defender intercepted it. Unfortunately, instead of clearing it away from the danger zone, he put it into the net.
Barcelona did not perform as usual, and it was clear that the players were exhausted after the recent intense matches, especially since coach Hansi Flick had hardly rested the starting lineup.

The worst moment for Barça came in the 41st minute when Alejandro Balde left the match with what appeared to be a serious injury. The club is awaiting an official announcement on the length of his absence and his position in the upcoming match against Dortmund.
It’s worth noting that Barcelona’s victory brought them to 70 points, temporarily widening the gap with the most prominent contender, Real Madrid, to 7 points, pending the Royals’ match against Alaves on Sunday.
