Sat Apr 12 18:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Barcelona Aims for Victory Against Leganés to Maintain La Liga Title Chase
**Getafe, Spain** – Barcelona manager Hansi Flick will lead his team against Leganés tonight at Butarque stadium. This match holds particular significance for Flick, as Leganés was responsible for one of Barcelona’s most significant setbacks this season, a defeat that triggered a period of crisis for the club. Since then, Barcelona has rebounded impressively, boasting the highest goal-scoring numbers in their history and a revitalized squad, fueled by the likes of their prolific trident and key players like Pedri and Koundé.
While Barcelona enjoys a significant resurgence, Flick remains cautious. The match comes less than 72 hours before the second leg of their Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund, and the team will likely see changes in the starting eleven to manage squad fatigue. A victory is crucial not only to avenge the earlier loss to Leganés but also to maintain pressure on a wounded but still-competitive Real Madrid in the La Liga title race.
Leganés, currently fighting relegation, enters the match with only one point from their last twelve and a challenging recent run. However, they demonstrated resilience in recent matches against Real Madrid and Betis, prompting Barcelona to approach this match with respect. Leganés manager Borja Jiménez will be relying on a strong defensive performance, set-piece opportunities, and the attacking prowess of Dani Raba, who has scored four goals in his last three games.
The match promises to be a tense encounter, with Barcelona seeking to complete their comeback from a challenging first half of the season and Leganés determined to cause an upset. The outcome will have significant ramifications for both teams in their respective battles for La Liga survival and the championship.
