Well, that was... something.

Barcelona will finish Matchday 29 top of the La Liga table thanks to a 2-0 win over Leganés at an empty Camp Nou. The game was extremely boring with two brilliant pieces of individual play deciding it in favor of the Blaugrana, who are once again five points clear of Real Madrid until Los Blancos kick off their match.

FIRST HALF

Leganés missed two big chances in the first 15 minutes. Barça passed the ball for the next 30 minutes. Then Ansu Fati scored a beautiful goal to give his team the lead.

Halftime.

SECOND HALF

Barça kept passing the ball and didn’t do much. Then Lionel Messi went on a ridiculous run and earned a penalty, which he easily scored. Then Riqui Puig came on and looked really good. Then the game ended.

This was really, really, really boring but a win is a win. Yay!
