Barcelona's Inexplicable Dramatic Decline
Barcelona suffered another home defeat, raising concerns about the team's recent form and the struggles of key players like Robert Lewandowski.
Barcelona has once again faced a home defeat, this time against Leganés, intensifying concerns about the team's current state. Despite prior warnings, the squad appeared lethargic, underestimating their 15th-placed opponents. Within the first three minutes, goalkeeper Iñaki Peña saved a one-on-one situation against Munir, but from the resulting corner, Sergio González's header put Leganés ahead.
With 86 minutes remaining, there was ample time for a comeback, yet Barcelona seemed lost on the pitch. Robert Lewandowski has been notably absent in recent matches, while Raphinha and Dani Olmo's efforts fell short. Substitutions provided little impact; Ferran Torres, unlike his performance against Dortmund, failed to make a difference, and Gavi's introduction only added physicality without creativity. Notably, Frenkie de Jong remained unused, his situation becoming a significant enigma for the team.
Barcelona's inability to capitalize on Real Madrid's slip-ups is alarming, with Atlético Madrid now level on points, posing a new threat to their standing. Lewandowski's form is particularly concerning; once a prolific scorer, he has become unrecognizable, missing clear opportunities against Leganés. His substitution with 25 minutes left went uncontested, reflecting his current struggles. Barcelona's decline, coupled with Lewandowski's disappearance, presents an inexplicable drama for the club.
