1-5. Messi and Suarez finished with the illusion of Leganés

The Barcelona consummated conclusively their week of redemption after falling against Alaves and then punish harshly Celtic in Champions, did the same with the Leganes on his visit to Butarque (1-5).

Again Luis Enrique opted for rotations in the starting lineup. In the absence of known and Busquets in midfield he joined that of Sergi Roberto , who took place on the bench. Both circumstances led to a modification drawing with defense of three composed Pique, Mascherano and Umtiti.

The experiment had some daring against an opponent who was willing to bite from the start uncaring of the consequences. Lacking complex, they blanquiazules gambled by high pressure output visitor difficult ball. The idea, score an early goal and resist.

Men like Neymar and Iniesta were not comfortable driving and losses were followed by quick counterattacks of Leganes, wearing extreme danger and Gabriel was in the game channeler attack. One of his center Medjani headed it over the bar.

It needed someone to light the light of Barcelona and this time took it upon themselves to do Messi and Suarez . They had not warned, had not intimidated, but appeared to reinvent the story of the facts.

Fifteen minutes later the Argentine fell to the half to send through ball first Uruguayan. They then began the two runaway parallel race that ended in the area, with the first pushing the second network assistance.

And with calmness going ahead with the willing to keep trying, hosts the team began to be comfortable. Insua forced the brilliance of his companion Serantes on a ball deflected while Suarez and Messi met again.

It was half an hour. A dead ball hunted the "ten" and the shadow of the crescent was dodging opponents to stand against Serantes. Before he finished the tessitura of the action or give him the both Suarez chose the second.

Neymar was lacking in the call by dialing 'MSN' and fulfill its role. He did it before the break when he put the finishing touch to a play which, again, had begun with the combination of his two companions attack. All it sentenced, despite which the supporters fired yours intermediate shouting 'Lega, Lega'.

They went back to green again the 'pepineros' willful and Koné tested to Ter Stegen. Less they needed to increase the Catalans account. In his first approach Bustinza Neymar clearly dropped in the area. Messi converted the penalty correctly.

From that moment on the bench began to look askance at the game against Atletico. Alcacer replaced Suarez, Arda Turan to Rakitic and Denis Iniesta. The last change came shortly after the goal of the afternoon, by Rafinha with an unstoppable hit from the front destined for the top corner.

Until the end, those of Garitano looked proudly honor bullseye and this eventually reached when had ten minutes thanks to a flawless free kick from Gabriel. It was the culmination of an already historic day, the first in which the Barcelona stepped Butaque.

The resurgence of Rafinha


One of the most positive news was the Barcelona his visit to Leganés was the performance of Rafinha . The Brazilian played 90 minutes scoring a spectacular goal also. Olympic champion this season promises to war.

And it will do against all odds. And so , after the signings of Denis Suarez and Andre Gomes more good performances by Arda Turan did think that Rafinha not have place in this club, but Luis Enrique has very much in his plans, even more so if the player pays as well as before the Leganes.

The long-term injury he suffered last year was a stick to its progression, but this season has returned stronger than ever with the illusion intact, ready to earn a place in a team where competition is fierce.

Before the Leganes Luis Enrique tested a new system with four midfielders, a drawing that fits him perfectly Rafinha. The Brazilian took the right flank at all times relying on Messi . The smallest of the Alcantara has shown that quality spare him to wear the Barca shirt. Are we facing a new case Sergi Roberto ?

Luis Enrique and the new rotation policy



The Barcelona coach Luis Enrique Martinez, surely has the perception that the successful last season, met with a doublet (Liga and Copa del Rey), could still be better if their best players they had reached the final stretch of the campaign in physical fullness, which is willing to solve this course.

And so it has implemented. Has helped the team's demanding schedule in this September (seven games in 23 days), calls for the different selections and, in some cases, some physical problems.

Besides the huge wardrobe with counting Barca this season, since it could have compensated the staff always helps the coach to dispense the minutes of its players and the latest example was seen yesterday in Butarque.

To everyone 's surprise, Luis Enrique left at home Sergio Busquets , until then the player with the most ownerships (six) in this early season with Leo Messi , Rafinha and premiered ownership also changed the game system, 3-4 -3 attacking with Javier Mascherano on the right side and became 4-3-3 defending and Alba on the left.

Since the start of the championship (seven games between league and Champions), the club has had 21 players and two goalkeepers in the holder and the only one who has not left home team was the third goalkeeper Jordi Masip .

After Busquets and Messi, who has played more times as a starter (five times) are Luis Suarez , Gerard Pique, Ivan Rakitic and Samuel Umtiti , which is the most prominence is among the new signings. Denis Suárez , Mascherano, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto also accumulate a number of minutes.

Before concluding the month, the club still has to face three commitments: two League (September 21, Atletico Madrid , 24, Sporting Gijon ) and one of Champions (28, Borussia Moenchengladbach).

The team returned to work today and tomorrow, will rest. Barcelona fans have been trained to complete in a session that has had the presence of three team players: Marlon Santos, Nili and Carbonell.

After falling surprisingly against Alaves at home (1-2), Barca have reacted in a big way and have managed paths thrashings against Celtic Glasgow (7-0) and Leganés (1-5), two games in which trident Messi, Suarez and Neymar has been especially worn with achieving 10 goals and nine assists.

La Liga Weekend: The first Leganes - Barcelona history

These are the curiosities that brings Opta's historic match between the first Leganés with Barcelona .

Leganes will face Barcelona for the first time in its 88 year history.

The Catalan side have won their last five league games away to Madrid teams; the last one that failed was against Getafe in 2014 (0-0).

The pepineros have left a clean sheet in seven of their last ten games in Butarque (six in second and one in first).

Leganes is the team of La Liga which receives fewer fouls this season (21).

Barcelona has already lost four league games in 2016, defeats them all last the entire year.

Leganes lost only two of their 21 home games in Segunda last season (12V 7E).

Lionel Messi has scored 33 of the 37 teams he has faced in the league (314 goals).

Javier Mascherano can play their number 174 game in the league and become the field player with more games without a goal in the club's history in the competition ( Michael Reiziger 173).

Rubén Pérez has only scored once in his 145 games in the top flight , just before the club in 2013 with Betis .

Barcelona have won all three league games he addressed them De Burgos Bengoetxea, witness FC Barcelona 0-8 in Riazor, maximum win of the league last home.

The Barcelona suffered last Saturday the first offense of the current league after losing at home to Alaves . A clash in which vitorianos played, he tied the Blaugrana but a goal by Ibai Gomez gave the three points to the team that has returned this year to the first division after ten years of absence. Many pointed to Luis Enrique as responsible for the rotations made ​​at that meeting. The truth is that the club missed a great opportunity to rise to leadership and now is fifth, three points behind Real Madrid .

This week history repeats itself and the Blaugrana will face a team that went to First at the end of last season, the Leganés . Although in this case the meeting will be at home and the opponent a team that has premiered category and is in the elite for the first time in its history. It will be an unprecedented duel since pepineros have never faced Barcelona in its 88 - year history. The last time Barca lost two games against newly promoted league was in 2010/11, against teams Hercules and Real Sociedad .

The Barcelona have won their last five league games away to Madrid teams, the last time he did was against Getafe in 2014, with a goalless draw. Leganes has only played three games in the First Division and already knows all results: he won the Celta in Balaidos, tied at home to Atletico Madrid and lost in Gijon. The locals made ​​their country a fortress last year and have not conceded in the one they have played at home in this league. The Lega has left a clean sheet in seven of their last ten games in Butarque, six second and one in first.

The set of Luis Enrique can not afford another slip. He has already lost four league games in 2016, as many as in 2015 to complete. Leganes fight to get something positive as it did in its premiere in Butarque in La Liga against Atletico Madrid, with the final result of 0-0. In his fiefdom, the locals only lost two of their last 21 games in the league in second (12 wins and seven draws).

Ruben Perez was heading in Butarque against Atletico and is one of the men to follow and which has only scored once in his 145 games in the top flight and it was precisely against Barcelona in 2013 with Betis . Eyes will be also placed on Leo Messi facing first Leganes and doubt whether may issue to it . The Argentine has scored against 33 of the 37 teams he has faced in the league, a total of 314 goals.

Both coaches have all players available to develop the eleven formed in Butarque in this meeting of the fourth day. Luis Enrique could have all their heavy artillery to have the starting XI of this meeting and avoid another shock. As it did last Tuesday to take a festival of goals against Celtic at the premiere of the course in Champions League . 7-0, its biggest win in the competition with three goals from Messi, two of Luis Suarez , one of Neymar and one from Iniesta.

Aritz Aduriz, the 'Phoenix' which reemerged after leaving Valencia


Abandonment Valencia by the back door 30 years, and nothing foreshadowed what would happen next with Aritz Aduriz . The guipuzcoano started scoring goals like never before had done, surprising friends and strangers, becoming the flagship of the Athletic Club of Bilbao to date.

In Valencia, Aduriz alternated between light and shadow, in a very good season, where he got to 14 goals in all official competitions. In that first season, Aduriz alternated with Roberto Soldado the center forward position and even got to play together on more than one occasion, although Unai Emery was reluctant to outline two points. Soldier paid more, and he got 11 goals more than the Basque, which repecurtiría the following season.

Although still have minutes the next season, it cost quite see Aduriz goal. He finished with 9 goals in all competitions, while Roberto Soldado was uncovered as one of the best scorers in the league , finishing with 27 points and with 2,000 minutes played that now Athletic striker. That season was the one that took Aduriz and Valencia to go their separate ways. Basque returned home ready to rewrite history.

Highly intelligent and powerful passing game, Aduriz felt like a fish in water, in a season with Marcelo Bielsa , and in the future with Ernesto Valverde . It was fate that did not want cacereño Aduriz and technical coincide in Valencia during 2012/2013. Who knows then whether the film Aduriz in Valencia had had another script.

Anyway, Aduriz was improving its numbers year after year in the Athletic. 18 goals in the first two seasons, 26 in the third and a spectacular figure of 36 goals last season, earning him the call for Euro 2016 in France by popular acclaim, as recognized Vicentel del Bosque in an interview .

In Bilbao, Aduriz has felt important, with gallons and weight and off the field. Few thought that the striker could make that turn in his career when he left Valencia with thirty fulfilled. A Case of Benjamin Button in football without any doubt. Now with 35 years, the mission of Aduriz to beat records last season is almost a pipe dream. The '20' Athletic has failed to score this season, and the first goal statistics should be close. Paradoxically, the next opponent is the one who let him go in search of a second youth; a Valencia reaches San Mames with many problems and questions. The script seems almost written.

Atletico, a killing machine against Sporting Gijon at home

These are the curiosities that brings Opta will face encounter with Atletico Sporting .

The Atletico Madrid has won their last ten home games against Sporting in the league , the last three without conceding a single goal.

The sportinguistas have only lost two of their last five games against the mattress in First (2V 1E), both at the Vicente Calderon.

Atletico has won seven of their last eight league at home (1E) matches and left clean sheets in six of them.

The Spaniard set have drawn four of their last five outings ligueras (twice 0-0 and two 1-1).

Atletico's La Liga team receives fewer shots this season (17, only three of them on goal).

Sporting takes ten consecutive visits losing to Atletico in Laliga, the worst run in their history against the Rojiblancos in the competition.

Atletico has scored seven league goals his last in the second half of game.

Antoine Griezmann has scored five goals in five games against Sporting in the league.

The French player has scored six goals in his last seven league games at the Vicente Calderon.

Cop has participated in three of the four goals of Sporting in the league (two goals and an assist).

The waters calmed down somewhat more by the banks of the Manzanares. The Atletico Madrid receives at the Vicente Calderon to Sporting Gijon with balsamic effect have meant the last two victories achieved by the set of Diego Simeone . The resounding victory ended 0-4 in Balaidos momentarily to debate the lack of scoring that had suffered the rojiblancos in their first two league games. And last Tuesday Atletico got a great result (0-1) against PSV at the Philips Stadion, starting with the right foot his career this season in the Champions League.

Sporting, meanwhile, faces the view of one of the most difficult stages of the competition with spirits through the roof after the great start to the season that are leading the pupils of Abelard . With seven points in the first three days and occupying third place in the standings, the team arrives unbeaten gijonés Calderon, although it has not obtained good results precisely in Madrid 's fiefdom in their last visits.

The Spaniard box lost in their last ten games in this stadium, unable to score any goal in the last three. So, Duje Cop and company try to turn around this negative dynamic results. Abelardo has the question of Moi Gómez by an overload in the quadriceps. Sportinguista team coach could make some rotations considering three games coming up in just a week. What is assumed is that Cop continue the offensive team reference. And the Croatian attacker is still one of the great sensations of this first section of the course and, with two goals and an assist, has participated in three of the four goals scored by the gijoneses so far.

Colchonero in the box, Simeone will be without Moya, Alessio Cerci and Tiago Mendes, the three injury. Savic is likely to enter Gimenez in the center of defense and Torres could make up to Gameiro. The moment that does not fall in rotations is Griezmann. The French striker this season premiered in league with a double in Balaídos and has scored five goals to Sporting in its five commitments to the Asturian in the league competition.

Eibar - Sevilla: To extend winning streaks


Sampaoli returns to the reality of Laliga after scratching a spot on his visit to Juventus in the Champions League. The sevillista whole seems to have recovered from defeats in the two Super Cups disputed during the month of August and is second in the standings with 7 points of 9 cattle.
