Barcelona assistant coach Marcus Sorg has attributed his team’s 1-0 loss to Leganes on Sunday to a lack of focus at the start of the game. With manager Hansi Flick serving a two-match suspension, Sorg stood in for the post-match duties, reflecting on the Blaugrana’s struggles in LaLiga this season.
An early strike from Sergio González was enough to secure all three points for Leganes at Camp Nou, as Barcelona failed to capitalize on their opportunities despite dominating possession and creating chances.
“The team did not start the game focused, and that led to the goal,” Sorg admitted during his post-match interview. “It’s been a tough period for us in the league. Despite creating chances, we failed to convert them into goals. Defeats like today are hard to take, but it’s part of the process, and we must work harder to achieve our goals.”
This defeat marks a disappointing chapter in Barcelona’s campaign as they continue to search for consistency under Flick’s leadership. The Catalan giants, currently struggling to meet their league expectations, will look to regroup ahead of their next fixture.
Leganes, on the other hand, celebrated a historic victory, showcasing resilience and tactical discipline to withstand Barcelona’s late pressure.
