It may have been an own goal, but Barcelona captured a crucial victory over Leganes to extend their La Liga lead to seven points over Real Madrid. The rotation and performance are a tribute to Hansi Flick's coaching style, according to Stefano Fusano and Ian Joy. A squad of young players like Lamine Yamal and older members like Robert Lewandowski have blended to produce a spectacular season for Barca. As they look forward to the second leg of the UCL quarter-final, Barcelona are poised to add new hardware to the trophy cabinet.
