3 Reasons why Barcelona won against Leganes

#2 Poor tactics from CD Leganes

FC Barcelona v CD Leganes - La Liga

How fortunate are you as a LaLiga team, when Messi is benched while you play against the league leaders? It was so poor from Leganes manager for not ushering his team to kill the game just when they were having a good time around the park.

Despite Dembele’s heroics, the white and blue stripes had a considerable amount of chances, which were left unutilized.

Mauricio Pelligrino should have at least pushed his team to attack more and cause a problem or two in Barcelona's backline. Instead, he went for a conservative approach which backfired as Valverde brought on his star men in the second half to kill off the game.

Although, the goal from Braithwaite was well constructed and finished but it acted as a wake-up call for the home side who then responded in great fashion with goals from Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi.
