On Saturday, November 30, 2024, FC Barcelona faced Las Palmas in Barcelona, Spain. Many La Liga fans are left baffled at the ending results of the recent match. Barcelona, the current dominating team in La Liga, has lost (2-1) to Las Palmas, a team that ranks twelfth in the league.
Game Info
In the beginning, we had many attempts for goals on both sides. The two teams were struggling because of each goalie’s quick movements and how players put power over accuracy.
Sandro (Las Palmas) managed to score an easy shot due to the lack of defending. Raphine (Barcelona) also manages to score with an unexpected long-range shot. Lewandowski’s movement drew the majority of Las Palmas’s defense, this made a small opening for Raphine to score. Fábio Silva (Las Palmas) managed to make a quick shot that surprisingly went in despite the strong defense present.
Cillessen (Las Palmas Goalie) managed to block Raphine, Yamal, and Lewandowski in the same game! Torres (Barcelona) scores with an assist from Yamal but it doesn’t count because he was offside when he kicked it.
Where did it go wrong for Barcelona?
While reviewing the game, you can see several factors that imply why Barcelona lost. First off, the defense was severely lacking, every time Las Palmas scored you could see Barcelona behind them trying to catch up to the shooter. Las Palmas scored several easy goals against Barcelona because of this. Barcelona clearly wasn’t in their prime this match, they looked exhausted all game. The amount of goals missed by the entire Barcelona team is shocking. The shots were either too powerful and completely off-target or accurate but had a lack of power. This and other factors like efficiency and reaction time all played roles in why Barcelona lost. Las Palmas simply wanted to win more.
