lionel Messi scored a 90th-minute penalty for his second goal of the night to give Barcelona a 2-1 win over lowly leganes in the Spanish league on Sunday.
Messi's spot-kick, following a questionable penalty after Neymar tumbled in the area, saved Barcelona from a second demoralizing result this week after a 4-0 loss at Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions league on Tuesday.
Coach luis Enrique, however, acknowledged that the match was far from uplifting for a team that is staring at elimination from European competition and is trailing Real Madrid in la liga. "We foresaw that it could be a complicated match given where we were coming from in the Champions league," said luis Enrique, who has been heavily criticized for the loss at PSG.
"Everything was difficult for us, and that after having scored at the start. It's clear we were lacking confidence for stretches, he added.”
