Match report
Barcelona was far from their pouring best when Hansi Flick's team made seven points clear at the top of La Liga with a 1-0 win at Leganes.
While the title race is rolling further, La Blaugrana Madrid goes out with three points, on the way back to Catalonia.
With Real Madrid in action tomorrow, the most important song for Flick is the final score, prior to their midweek UEFA Champions League trip to Borussia Dortmund.
After a 4-0 quarter-final first leg victory on the Bundesliga side last week, Barcelona offered very little with Leganes and needed his own goal to seal the victory.
Real Madrid will now have to respond to Alaves before their own Champions League the last eight second stage at home of Mikel Arteta's Arsenal.
They did not create anything before the break without shots on goal and the most important moment came to 48 minutes through a piece of luck.
Raphinha shot an excellent low cross for the goal of Leganes and the unfortunate Jorge Sainz led the OM in his own network.
Barcelona seemed to go from there, while Fermin Lopez and Robert Lewandowski both wasted enormous opportunities to double their lead just afterwards.
That opened the door for Leganes late when Dani Raba saw a goal excluded for offside via VAR and Juan Cruz, the target was set when the nerves of Barcelona were sent to the Estadio Butarque in a jangle.
Flick is ready to rotate his team on the road in Dortmund, but with most of the job, the LA Liga title can now perform his priority list.
Barcelona is confronted with two Home League matches to complete April, while Celta Vigo and Mallorca go to Catalonia, prior to the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid on 26 April.
