Barcelona won with Saenz's autogole (48), but suffered a lot on Leganes's land. Has distanced itself at the forehead of the ranking at 7 points by Real Madrid.
After the Gala with Borussia Dortmund (4-0), from the “quarters” of the Champions League, the Barcelona players had to put on their “jumpsuit” to win on Saturday night (1-0).
The Catalans suffered seriously in front of a very determined host team, which put them many problems, and won from an autogole (Saenz, minute 48). But coach Hansi Flick wants to go over this match quickly.
Hansi Flick: “Football does not mean only a show”
“We lacked the cursiveness, and Lamine Yamal told me in the locker room that the land was not good. But that doesn't matter anymore. I took the points, this is the most important.
Football does not mean a show, it matters a lot and the commitment. The work of each player separately, in defense, whether he is a defender, midfielder or striker ”, stressed the German technician.
In fact, Raphinha, an attacker, often came to the aid of defense, and at some point he even had a providential intervention, at one of the great occasions of the hosts.
Eric Garcia: “The most important thing in this type of game are the three points”
However, midfielder Eric Garcia was the one who emphasized the most faithful the significance of the Victoria from Leganes. “The coach warned us about the results that Leganés had against the top teams and today was not different.
They made a very good game. They put us a lot of problems on the counterattack in the first half. The most important thing in this type of game is the three points, “said Garcia, who wanted to remind the fact that” in the first half of the season they defeated us at home, just like Las Palmas.
I knew that if we defeated we would put a lot of pressure on the candidates for the title. These are the games in which the leagues are won. When you live in the Champions League and just two or three days you play in Laliga you can't always make a show. It is important to win! ”.
