What seemed like an accident ended up becoming, for Las Palmas, a an ugly habit that came so close to taking him back to the Second Wasteland and that less than a month ago took out Luis Carrión, who ended up having his debut on a First Division bench ruined like this. It happened that, in February of last year, Las Palmas promised them very happy before visiting Atlético. He had 18 points ahead of Cádiz, second to last, and That 5-0 that the Metropolitano won did not seem to be anything more than a thunderous coincidence in one of the most electrifying stadiums in Europe. “It's okay, anyone would have signed this at the beginning of the season,” began to be the mantra. of the wardrobe both in public and in private.
However, That KO in Atlético de Madrid's lair turned out to be groundhog day for the Gran Canaria team. Since then, February 17, 2024, and until Monday of last week, when they won 2-3 at Mestalla, Las Palmas was not able to win a single match, thus engaging in 23 days without tasting the sweet taste of victory. If it almost cost him to stay, he later paid for it with the change of coach ahead of time. Despite the recovery with Martínez, taking a cut today from the Metropolitano would heal wounds and scare away that complacent marmot who, so happy she was, believed that nothing was happening. And boy did it happen.
