Leganes’ Inconsistencies And Missed Opportunities Undermine Strong Effort Against Barca
The squad from Leganes displayed continuous determination in the match while missing various scoring chances during the game. The combination of poor finishing from Dani Raba and Adria Alti together with an offside disallowed goal made finishing this match challenging for Leganes. The team suffered from lack of midfield control while defending Barca’s intense pressing and Sáenz concession of an own goal became the decisive factor in the match. The inconsistent wing defence allowed Raphinha and Yamal to create problems for Leganes while their team faced discipline issues because yellow cards shattered their progression throughout gameplay.

Tactical Adjustments That Could Have Enhanced Leganes’ Chances Against Barca
The outcome would have been superior if Leganes coordinated better attacking finishes while pressuring Barca more efficiently in their building phase. The team could have achieved better results by intensifying their pressure on Barca’s full-backs while singling out Raphinha to prevent their attacking efforts from the wide sections. The outcome probably would have improved if Leganes introduced Munir and Garcia as substitutes sooner during the first half. A stronger defensive unit alongside fast counterattacks through central areas would have given Leganes better opportunities to score goals. Higher levels of composure combined with better tactical discipline would potentially have enabled Leganes to score a point at minimum.
