Barcelona are far ahead of Real Madrid.

In the early hours of April 13th, Barca defeated Leganes 1-0 in the 31st round of La Liga, thereby increasing their lead over Real Madrid to 7 points.

Barca are taking steady steps towards the championship.

While Real Madrid consistently faltered, Barcelona showed stability, especially in the crucial final stages of the season. Against a defensively minded Leganes side, Hansi Flick's team still managed to overcome the challenge and widen the gap with Real in the La Liga title race.

Jorge Saenz's own goal in the 48th minute extended Barca's unbeaten run across all competitions to 24 matches, including 20 wins and 4 draws. If they maintain their current confidence and form, Barca can certainly dream of replicating their treble-winning achievement exactly a decade ago.

Playing away from home, Barca dominated the game with 66% possession and 12 shots. The visitors' expected goals (xG) were 1.19. In the first half, "Blaugrana" constantly pressed, and only the talent of goalkeeper Dmitrovic prevented Leganes from conceding a goal.

The turning point of the match came at the beginning of the second half, when Raphinha's cross accidentally deflected off Saenz and resulted in a goal. After gaining the advantage, coach Hansi Flick's team displayed impressive ball control, preventing their opponents from having a single shot on target until the final whistle.
