Barcelona suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat to Las Palmas at the Santiago Bernabéu, extending their dismal league form. Goals from Sandro and Fabio Silva delivered a hammer blow to the Catalans, who have now earned just a single point from their last three league outings.
The visitors broke the deadlock early in the second half, with Sandro finding the back of the net in the 49th minute. Barcelona managed to claw their way back into the game, equalizing in the 61st minute through a swift attacking move, but their joy was short-lived. Fabio Silva silenced the home crowd with a clinical strike in the 67th minute, restoring Las Palmas’ lead and sealing the upset.
Defensive frailties were once again on display, with Barcelona conceding their fifth goal in just three matches. The team’s struggles are becoming increasingly glaring as they slide further from their usual high standards.
After the game, winger Raphinha did not mince words about the team’s current predicament.
“We’ve been doing poorly. We’re lowering the level of what we were doing,” he admitted. “There are many things we are doing wrong. We have to turn things around on Tuesday. I’m angry, I don’t care much about my goal…”
The defeat has left Barcelona fans worried as the team continues to grapple with inconsistency, a far cry from the dominance they once commanded. Tuesday’s game now looms as a crucial opportunity for redemption.
