In a shocking turn of events, FC Barcelona lost 2-1 to Las Palmas at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys during the 15th round of LaLiga on Saturday (30). Despite controlling possession and outshooting their opponents, Barcelona’s inefficiency in front of goal proved costly.
The first half ended in a stalemate, with Barcelona dominating possession but failing to create clear-cut chances. The game came alive in the second half when Sandro Ramírez scored for Las Palmas in the 49th minute. Raphinha equalized for Barcelona in the 62nd minute, but Fábio Silva restored Las Palmas’ lead six minutes later, securing a crucial away victory.
Key Stats:
- Possession: Barcelona 63% – 37% Las Palmas
- Shots: Barcelona 27 – 5 Las Palmas
- Pass Accuracy: Barcelona 544 passes – 162 passes Las Palmas
Barcelona remains at the top of LaLiga with 34 points, but their lead could shrink to just one point if Real Madrid, currently with 30 points, wins their match against Getafe on Sunday (1).
Las Palmas climbed to 14th place, reaching 15 points, and moved further away from the relegation zone. The loss has intensified scrutiny on Barcelona’s coach, Hans-Dieter Flick, as the team faces increasing pressure in the title race.
