Barcelona’s struggles in La Liga continued as they suffered a 1-2 defeat to Las Palmas at Montjuic. The loss marked their second defeat in three league matches, and they are now in danger of losing their lead at the top of the table.
The team’s performance was lacking, and they were unable to recover from Las Palmas’ second goal. The absence of Marc Casado, who was suspended due to a red card, was deeply felt, as the team lacked control and stability in midfield.
Barcelona’s recent form has been a concern, with the team dropping eight points from their last nine league matches. Real Madrid can now overtake them if they win their games in hand. The team’s inability to maintain form has left them vulnerable, and questions are being raised about who is to blame.
While the players have been putting in effort, fatigue is beginning to show. The tactical system used by manager Hansi Flick is demanding, and some slip-ups were expected. However, Flick’s management has not been the issue, and the players have done their best.
Barcelona now needs to treat this slump as a minor setback and regroup for the challenges ahead. They must find a way to regain their form and momentum if they want to stay in contention for the La Liga title.
