Who's to blame for Barcelona's loss against Leganes

While chatting with YEN.com.gh, football analyst Tosin Alli shared his thoughts on Barcelona's loss against the newly promoted side Leganes.

"Barcelona were the better side from start to finish, but Robert Lewandowski let them down," he said.

"Lewandowski has been the go-to guy when it comes to scoring for Barca this season, but his numerous missed chances cost them the game.

"Aside from Lewandowski's poor finish in the match, Leganes goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic had a fantastic game and made some great saves to earn all three points for his team."

The Catalans are having a good outing in the UEFA Champions League compared to their poor run of form in La Liga.

Hansi Flick side are second in the UCL league format group phase, but could lose their first-place in the league to either Real Madrid or Atletico.
