Barcelona star claims teammate was ‘spectacular’ in win over Leganés | OneFootball

Barcelona star Iñigo Martínez has on Saturday evening come in for some altogether deserved praise on the part of a fellow member of Hansi Flick’s squad.

This comes owing to the former’s performance in the club’s meeting with Leganés.

Barcelona marked their return to action a short time ago, making the trip to Madrid for a La Liga clash with relegation-battling Leganés.

When all was said and done, the Blaugrana secured for themselves a vital three points, courtesy of a hard-fought 1-0 victory.

And the aforementioned Iñigo proved himself absolutely crucial in the evening’s visitors maintaining their clean sheet through the full-time whistle.

The 33-year-old enjoyed a superb performance, conjuring up a number of vital tackles and interceptions.

One such intervention came with mere moments remaining in the 90, preventing what looked a certain Leganés goal.

And one individual on whom such excellence on Iñigo’s part was not at all lost was defensive partner Gerard Martín.

Drawn on the performance put forth by his teammate this evening during a post-match exchange with the media, left-back Martín did not hesitate in responding:

“Iñigo was spectacular!”
