Barcelona, Spain – In a surprising turn of events, Barcelona suffered a 2-1 defeat against Las Palmas at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Saturday, November 30th. The match, part of La Liga’s Matchday 14, saw a thrilling back-and-forth contest that ultimately ended in victory for the relegation-battling visitors.
Las Palmas took an early lead in the 49th minute through Sandro Ramírez, who fired a shot past the Barcelona keeper. The former Barcelona player’s goal came after a swift counter-attack that exploited a gap in Barcelona’s defense. Barcelona’s response was muted until the 61st minute, when Raphinha leveled the score with a powerful strike from outside the box.
However, Las Palmas regained the advantage in the 67th minute. A long ball found Fábio Silva, who beat Barcelona’s defense and slotted the ball into the net, securing a 2-1 lead for the away side. The match was further complicated by an injury to Barcelona’s Alejandro Balde, who had to be substituted after a collision with Sandro Ramírez.
Despite a dominant second half where Barcelona had the majority of the possession, they were unable to find the equaliser, ultimately suffering a loss that dents their hopes of staying top of the La Liga table. The defeat followed a recent dip in form for the home side, who had only managed one point from their previous two matches. The match was broadcast on various channels worldwide, including ESPN Deportes (USA), SuperSport (Nigeria), and Premier Sports 1 (UK).
