THE BALL RUNS IN BUTARQUE!!!

THE LEGANÉS - BARCELONA MATCH BEGINS!!!

Leganés and FC Barcelona Prepare for LaLiga Matchday 31 Clash

We’re assessing Leganés’s current position as they enter this crucial fixture. Managed by Borja Jiménez, the Pepineros sit 18th in the LaLiga standings with 28 points (7W-7D-16L) following a 1-1 draw against Osasuna on April 5, 2025, where Dani Raba scored in the 62nd minute.
