Barcelona give up title initiative after shock defeat to Leganes

Related Topics: Hansi Flick, Barcelona, Raphinha

There really wasn’t anything positive you could say about Sunday night’s performance against Leganes.

After a bright start to his tenure this season, Hansi Flick might’ve been forgiven for thinking, even at quite an early stage, that he was coaching this season’s league champions.

They were riding roughshod over almost every opponent whilst scoring sack loads of goals, but now, dare we say it, Barca are looking fairly ordinary.

Though he was absent from the bench against Los Pepineros, Flick would’ve seen an opponent who, whilst not exactly full value for their win, at least did what they had to do.
