Barcelona 1-2 Las Palmas: The La Liga leaders were shocked at home by the underdogs in a significant upset.

In a stunning turn of events, Barcelona’s dismal La Liga form continued as they suffered a surprising 2-1 defeat at home to Las Palmas. The Catalan giants, who have been struggling to find their rhythm, now face the prospect of losing their grip on the top spot if Real Madrid capitalises on their two games in hand.

The match began with a lacklustre first half, where neither side could find the back of the net. However, the game took a dramatic twist just four minutes into the second half when former Barcelona player Sandro broke away to give the visitors the lead. His strike sent shockwaves through the Camp Nou, leaving the home fans in disbelief.

Barcelona responded with urgency, and just six minutes later, Raphinha, who had previously rattled the crossbar, found the net with a powerful low shot from 25 yards. It seemed as though the hosts had found their footing, but their defensive frailties were once again exposed. Fabio Silva, displaying remarkable skill, managed to create space between the Barcelona centre-backs and fired home the winner, sealing a memorable victory for Las Palmas.

As it stands, Barcelona remains four points clear at the top of the table, but the pressure is mounting. Meanwhile, Las Palmas has climbed to 14th place after starting the day in the relegation zone, showcasing the unpredictable nature of this season’s La Liga.

With Real Madrid lurking, the pressure is on Barcelona to rediscover their winning ways before it’s too late.
