FC Barcelona suffered their third consecutive La Liga setback, losing 1-2 to relegation-threatened Las Palmas at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. After a lackluster first half, Barcelona lost Alejandro Balde to injury and fell behind early in the second period to a goal by former player Sandro Ramírez. Raphinha briefly leveled the score, but Fabio Silva struck the winner for Las Palmas shortly after.
Manager Hansi Flick expressed dissatisfaction with the team’s performance, criticizing their inefficiency in converting chances. He noted that while the team created opportunities in the second half, it was fewer than usual, and both defensive and offensive cohesion were lacking. Flick stressed the need for improvement ahead of challenging fixtures, including Dortmund. On Lamine Yamal’s return, Flick viewed his 45-minute cameo as a positive step for the youngster’s recovery and readiness for future matches.
