Club Deportivo Leganes - Barcelona 0:1

FC Barcelona continued their steady march toward the La Liga title with a composed 1–0 victory over relegation-threatened Leganés in Matchweek 31.

It wasn't flashy, but it was effective. Just days after a grueling Champions League fixture, Hansi Flick's side delivered a professional performance at the Estadi Olímpic. The only goal of the game came early in the second half when Jorge Sáenz inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, giving Barça all three points.

With the win, Barcelona now sit seven points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the table. While Los Blancos still have a game in hand, the pressure is firmly on them to respond. The Catalan giants are now in the driving seat as the title race enters its final stretch.

Leganés, meanwhile, remain 19th and face an uphill battle in their fight to avoid relegation.
