Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has insisted that there was no great change to his team's style of football against Leganes, despite taking to the field without a recognised right-back.
The Spanish champions switched between a 3-4-3 and 4-3-3 formation throughout the contest in the outskirts of Madrid, which ended in a 5-1 victory for the Catalan outfit, who have moved to the top of the La Liga table.
Enrique, however, has insisted that there 'was not anything strange' with the new formation as the team's principles remained the same.
"When we have the ball, we've often use a line of the three. What happened today was that we played with three centre-backs. Depending on where the pressure is, we move," Enrique told reporters.
"It wasn't anything strange, the difference is that today the pivot was further forward and not embedded between the centre-backs. We intended to have more of the ball than our opponents and exploit the spaces. There are things to improve on, but I'm staying calm.
"Depending on the opponents, there will be complications and we must find these spaces. Possession interests me very little in these games, I don't care about it. We try to create situations that give our forwards one-on-ones, and we solved them well."
Next up for Barcelona is a home game against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night.
