Leganes have scored 17 league goals in 20 games, which is the worst in the league. Only Huesca and Valladolid have scored so few. A similar story unfolded at the Camp Nou for Mauricio Pellegrino's side.

Throughout the match, Leganes had just 28% possession. They took just five shots throughout the game, out of which only two came in the box.

The other three were speculative efforts from some way out. In the final third they completed just 76 passes, compared to 243 from Barcelona. The likes of Martin Braithwaite and Oscar had precious little to work with.

To their credit, Leganes did score from their one big chance. The problem is, they did not create anything else apart from that.

Normally their strong defence makes up for the weak attack, but that's easier said than done against Barcelona.
