We can call this a poisoned gift for FC Barcelona. While the Catalan institution celebrates the 125th anniversary of its creation this weekend, the team missed out on Saturday at home. Hansi Flick’s players were beaten by Las Palmas, 2-1. 17th in La Liga before the match, the team from the Canary Islands had not won against the Blaugrana for almost 40 years (February 1986), and on Catalan soil since… September 19, 1971.
The feat was made possible by the goals scored by Sandro Ramírez (0-1, 49th), trained in Barcelona, and Fabio Silva (1-2, 67th). The Las Palmas defense was also strong in resisting goal situations in favor of Robert Lewandowski and his teammates in the last quarter of an hour. However, Captain Raphinha’s powerful and precise strike had revived FC Barcelona on the hour mark (1-1, 61st).
It’s up to Real Madrid to take advantage
Four days after having disposed of Stade Brestois in the Champions League (3-0), already on his lawn at the Montjuïc Olympic stadium, the leader of the Spanish Championship falls from a very high place. Real Madrid, second in the standings four points behind, have two games in hand and could take advantage of this to get back on the heels of their historic rival.
