He Barcelona has gone into a spin. The defeat against Las Palmas is added to the poor results achieved against the Real Sociedad and Celta. With the aggravating factor that on this occasion the bad result was on their own playing field. This Saturday was a new demonstration of impotence with a mediocre first half and a second in which they tried, but without success and with a Las Palmas that, like Real and Celta, knew how to find the gaps in the rival defense. The helplessness of the last minutes is worrying.
The problem for Flick and company is that this result radically changes the panorama of the League. At this moment, if Real Madrid wins the two games it has less than Barcelona, it would be the leader. It is true that it is virtual, but the reality is that now Ancelotti’s men, with all the criticism they have received, could become leaders. This Sunday they have the match against Getafe and the still undated postponed match against Valencia. The Blaugranas’ one-point partial of nine is to blame. Not even Lamine’s return could prevent it.
Alejandro Balde It gave the fans a good scare. The defender had to leave the field of play after a strong collision with Sandro. The shoulder of the Las Palmas player hit the chest of the Barça player who had a lot of trouble breathing. But the scare was huge when he couldn’t even stand when trying to get up. Luckily things didn’t get any worse.
¿Es Frenkie de Jong the last one on the list? It was surprising that Flick included Pablo Torre in the starting eleven, who had a good first half, instead of the Dutchman. Surprise, surely, because of the stripes since if we stick to the performance this decision does not seem crazy. The fact is that the Dutchman is the last of the midfield choices behind Gavi, Pedri, Fermín, Olmo, Pablo Torre and Casadó. Mister’s decision.
Sandro’s goal is to be put in soccer schools to learn how to get a ball played from the goalkeeper. The Palms The play with Cillessen began and in four passes that destroyed the Barça defense the ball reached Sandro who beat Iñaki Peña with a cross shot. To frame.
A Diego Martinez He is good at Barcelona. In the last three games in which he has faced each other as a coach, he has managed to do damage in the Barça stadium. And, furthermore, with three different teams. In the 20/21 season achieved victory with Granada a day in which Barça practically said goodbye to the title. A year later they tied at the Camp Nou with Espanyol. And now this Saturday’s victory.
