After its spectacular victory in Dortmund (2-3) in the middle of the week, Hansi Flick’s team fell back into its mistakes in the league this Sunday evening. And after Las Palmas, it was the 17th in the ranking, Leganes, who came to win at Montjuic (0-1).

Barça-Atlético next Saturday…

The Catalans conceded the opener, signed by Sergio Gonzalez, at the very start of the match (4th).
