Las Palmas Upsets Barcelona in La Liga Thriller
A stunning upset unfolded at Camp Nou as Las Palmas defeated La Liga leaders Barcelona 2-1. This unexpected victory spoiled Barcelona’s 125th anniversary celebrations and halted their recent winning streak.
Sandro Ramirez scored the opening goal for Las Palmas early in the second half, and despite Raphinha’s equalizer for Barcelona, Fabio Silva secured the victory for the visitors.
This loss leaves Barcelona four points ahead of Real Madrid, who have two games in hand. The Catalan giants have now gone three league matches without a win, a significant downturn after a dominant run of form.
Barcelona’s young talent, Lamine Yamal, made a late appearance but couldn’t inspire a comeback. Las Palmas goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen played a crucial role in the victory, making several key saves to deny Barcelona’s attacking threats.
This surprising result has sent shockwaves through La Liga and highlighted the unpredictability of the Spanish top flight.
