FC Barcelona took another step towards the Liga title with a narrow victory against Legan\u00e9s (0-1). An own goal by Jorge S\u00e1enz in the 48th minute was enough for Hansi Flick’s team to reach 70 points in the tournament<\/strong>, with the Azulgrana side moving 7 and 10 points ahead of Real Madrid and Atl\u00e9tico, respectively, with only seven matchdays remaining.<\/p> The match, as expected, was very complicated from start to finish for the ‘Cul\u00e9s’ at Butarque, a ground where both ‘Merengues’ and ‘Colchoneros’ have already suffered this season. Lega had surprised Bar\u00e7a in the first leg (0-1)<\/strong> and, beyond being in relegation places, once again demonstrated a remarkable ability to stand up to the big teams.<\/p> Bar\u00e7a didn’t take too long to create danger in the goal defended by Dmitrovic. Two through passes from Robert Lewandowski and Alejandro Balde to Pedri and Raphinha, respectively, generated anxiety in the rival area, but the final shot was missing to define two very dangerous plays. Lega reacted in the 12th minute with a good individual play in which Dani Raba surpassed I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez in the one-on-one. The midfielder stood to finish, but Szczesny reacted in time with a great save<\/strong>.<\/p> After about ten very interesting minutes for the ‘Pepineros’, Bar\u00e7a reappeared in the rival area in the 19th minute, with a deflected header from Ferm\u00edn. Three minutes later, Kound\u00e9 came close to scoring with a shot deflected by Sergio Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong> that almost surprised Dmitrovic. Bar\u00e7a returned to settle in the rival half and Raphinha warned again with another deflected shot in the 26th minute.<\/p> A couple of minutes later, Lamine Yamal received a bad late tackle from Javi Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>, overlooked by referee Hern\u00e1ndez Maeso. Just afterwards, the Azulgrana winger sent a low shot to the side of the net. Legan\u00e9s, for their part, continued to disrupt the game by imposing physical play and quick breaks with long balls, trying to surprise the ‘Cul\u00e9s’ full-backs.<\/p> Bar\u00e7a struggled to find depth in Butarque<\/h2>
Balde injured and Bar\u00e7a in trouble before half-time<\/h2>
