Messi's Penalty Give Barcelona Win Over Leganes
Messi's Penalty Give Barcelona Win Over Leganes
Madrid - Arab Today
Lionel Messi's 90th-minute penalty saw off the challenge of gutsy Leganes and spared Barcelona from a second successive embarrassing result.
The champions underwhelmed again after Tuesday's 4-0 Champions League defeat at Paris St-Germain and had keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to thank for a string of great saves.
Messi gave Barca an early lead, before Unai Lopez fired in the equaliser.
The Barcelona forward then slammed in the late winner from the spot.
Victory sees the Catalan giants move two points above Sevilla into second place in La Liga. They have 51 points, one fewer than leaders Real Madrid who have two games in hand.
The top three teams qualify directly for the Champions League next season.
In other games round which was held last night, Villarreal win at Real Sociedad (1-0), and Valencia at home to Athletic Bilbao account (2-0), and Celta Vigo at home to Osasuna (3-0).
