Spanish media slammed Robert Lewandowski as an 'unrecognisable' figure after Barcelona slipped up in the title race during Sunday's shock defeat against Leganes. Hansi Flick fumed on the touchlines as his squad stumbled for the second consecutive league clash that sees Atletico Madrid move level on points and rivals Real Madrid now only one point adrift.

Leganes arrived at the Nou Camp chasing points that would put valuable distance between themselves and the relegation zone, but admittedly didn't expect to walk away with a victory. Sergio Gonzales handed the visitors a shock lead just four minutes into the encounter, but many expected Barcelona to hit back with so long left in the match. They didn't, and Leganes departed having inflicted a damaging blow on the Catalan club's title hopes.

Barcelona tested Leganes goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic just four times throughout the match and was largely let off by Lewandowski proving lame in front of goal before being substituted. The Polish superstar is LaLiga's top scorer this season with 16 goals in the Spanish top-flight, but has scored just once in his last four appearances and was again ineffective against Leganes.
