Las Palmas eats Barça’s anniversary cake

These things happen, and more so at Barça, who already beat Atlético on the day they celebrated their centenary. All prefabricated parties collide with stiff, overconfident and overconfident players who realize that they are losing when it is too late. Everything is so prepared for the party that usually the party goes wrong. It happens to Barça, to Madrid (see Centenariazo) too… Someone should take note that celebrating successes in advance is reckless. Las Palmas ate Barça’s anniversary cake and took the three points by winning 1-2.

To begin with, Flick had a problem, which was to make up for Marc Casadó’s suspension due to suspension, who four months ago no one knew who he was and now seems essential. The option was the sung one. Enter Gavi. It was also no surprise that Lamine Yamal started the game from the bench. Flick already warned that he would have minutes, but did not guarantee his starting position after his ankle injury. The surprise was the inclusion of Pablo Torre at the start in the position of a Dani Olmo who still hasn’t played three games in a row. Something is up with Olmo. Barcelona’s first half against UD Las Palmas confirmed the feeling that when a party is prepared it ends in a funeral.

Flick’s team was thick in all its lines from the first minute. Only a more than attentive Cubarsi and a Pedri who tried everything without finding a partner could save themselves. Gavi was going too fast, Fermín was incapable of giving the ball to anyone wearing the same shirt as him. and at first he just wanted to shoot, but after missing a clear chance his confidence was gone. Lewandowski moved again with the speed of a commuter train (like all season but without balls to push towards goal), Raphinha could not find that point despite moving more than the prices of oil and dessert Balde received a blow and urgently asked for a change so that Gerard Martín could leave.

Surprised by the bullshit of Barcelona, ​​Las Palmas began to see that they could get something out of Montjuïc. Fabio and Iván Muñoz warned Iñaki Peña while Barça was unable to dominate the match and play often. They were all isolated actions based above all on the impetus of Pedri and Raphinha.

Given this panorama, Flick He had no choice but to bring Lamine Yamal out to warm up during the break. In the middle half he came on for Pablo Torre. It was of no use, in case you don’t want to continue reading. The Golden Boy played a vomiting game.

At first, the measure did not work. Four minutes after the restart, UD Las Palmas portrayed Barcelona’s smoothness from the start of goalkeeper Cillessen to Sandro’s shot. a pass from Kirian that made it 0-1. Given the situation, Flick put all his effort into action with a triple substitution. Fort, De Jong, another who proved the crowd right with his transparency, and Ferran inside to remove Koundé, Fermín and Gavi. Nothing improved.

With the new scenario and half an hour ahead, Barça looked for a comeback. The team began to corner Las Palmas and in one of these sieges Raphinha received a ball from Pedri and unleashed a whip from the front that Rivaldo signed to tie, but the visitor did not give up. In a poor offside scenario, Fabio Silva ate Fort’s toast and scored 1-2.

The transition to the end of the game was an exercise in helplessness from which only Raphinha was saved. Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal, for example, deserve the gold and diamond insignia of UD Las Palmas.
