I know you probably didn't really enjoy the match because Barcelona was only able to score 1 goal to bring them full points, even though Las Palmas had lost one player since the first half and that should have been an advantage for Barcelona but it turned out that Barcelona was only able to score 1 goal. According to all of us, this is not surprising, I think Barcelona is just trying to play more relaxed so that their players don't lose a lot of stamina so that it doesn't affect their performance towards the end. At least 1 goal is enough to bring Barca to 3 points and become more comfortable in 2nd place.
Barcelona difficulty in scoring goals was due to Las Palmas having a very high fighting spirit even though they played with 10 players from the 24th minute, they continued to run after the ball relying on speed and playing with high tension. Las Palmas didn't look like they were playing with 10 players, they defended well and were still able to build attacks occasionally. Barcelona's defense line was threatened several times by Las Palmas due to the defenders allowing opposing players to have space to shoot. Barcelona was still lucky because the Las Palmas players' shots deviated from the target.
Las Palmas did very well in averting many goals following the early red card. Perhaps Barcelona have continued to show how weak a team they have become this season. If it were the strong Barcelona that we know, there was no way they will not score at least 4 goals against Las Palmas who is never a treat to any big side this season. The conceded 5 goals against Atletico Madrid and 3 goals against Getafe so this demystify their supposed fighting spirit. I'm sure Barcelona has just increase the pockets of the bookies by neutralising those who would have played with the expectations of many goals


Barcelona gave no impression other than weakening their championship chances with the football they played. I see a big difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Real Madrid plays more organized in attack and puts a lot of pressure on the opposing defense. Barça, on the other hand, can beat Las Palmas, who received a red card in the early minutes, with only 1 goal. I think Barça and its players will receive great criticism after this match.
