Alcacer experiment comes to nothing....

It's clear that Luis Enrique is using the early rounds of the season to forge a few untested formations with his Barcelona squad, but not all have come off.

Setting up with a 3-4-3 at Leganes proved a success in contrast to the 4-4-2 of-sorts that was made to accommodate Paco Alcacer in the 2-1 win over Borussia Monchengladbach.

The striker worked hard alongside Luis Suarez, with Neymar supporting as a playmaker, although it took him 17 minutes to get his first pass off and he only managed a single shot.

With the hosts tightly-packed at the back, Barcelona's attackers found little space to operate around or run into, leaving it up to Arda Turan and a Gerard Pique bundle home to take the points.

In the second-half, the Azulgrana coach switched things up and pulled the ex-Valencia man with Rafinha coming on in his place.
