On Saturday, April 12, 2025, FC Barcelona secured a narrow 1-0 victory over CD Leganés at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque in a LaLiga EA Sports match. The game’s only goal came in the 48th minute when Leganés defender Jorge Sáenz inadvertently scored an own goal following a cross from Barcelona’s Raphinha.
Despite the win, Barcelona faced challenges throughout the match. Leganés created several scoring opportunities, including a notable chance by Altimira that was saved by goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny. Barcelona also dealt with the setback of Alejandro Balde’s injury before halftime. Leganés had a goal disallowed for offside and appealed for a handball penalty against Iñigo Martínez, which was not awarded.
This victory extends Barcelona’s unbeaten streak in 2025 to 24 matches, with 12 clean sheets, and positions them seven points ahead of Real Madrid, who have a game in hand.
