La Liga champions Barcelona slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at struggling Leganes and Real Madrid were resoundingly beaten 3-0 by Sevilla on Wednesday. Sevilla scored all their goals in a livewire first half to inflict a first league defeat on Real under Coach Julen Lopetegui. Barca remained top of the table on goal difference, locked on 13 points with Real. For the trip to the suburbs of Madrid, Valverde brought in Thomas Vermaelen at the expense of Jordi Alba. You have a game under control and then the opposition can do damage like they (Leganes) did in one minute,” Valverde said.
