Barcelona slumped to a shocking second defeat in three match days in La Liga last night as they fell to a 1-2 defeat to Las Palmas at Montjuic.
The Catalans were indeed far from their best on the night. With Lamine Yamal unfit to start and Marc Casado out, the lineup was relatively fresh and more so after Alejandro Balde was forced off the field early.
Las Palmas took the early lead in the second half but Barcelona pulled one back through Raphinha near the hour mark. A defensive lapse, however, helped the visitors go front once more and Barcelona never got back in the game.
The Blaugrana had a clear penalty denied and a lot will be said about the referee’s mistake in the coming days for it is now becoming a norm.
Barça Universal brings you three takeaways from Barcelona 1-2 Las Palmas.
Marc Casado’s red card against Celta Vigo cost the team two points as they immediately slumped to a 2-2 draw in a matter of minutes.
Suspended from action last night, the youngster’s absence was again sorely felt as the team lacked control and security in midfield without the La Masia starlet.
