[Las Palmas did play very well especially in defense even though they lost 1 player in the first 20 minutes of the first half but they were quite solid in defense even with 10 players it could be used as an excuse but another reason that makes more sense is because Barcelona is very bad in their attack where their effectiveness seems to be lost when in attack situations and makes them seem to waste the opportunities they have in this match.
They controlled the match because it was a definite thing they did. besides that, they also had not a few chances where when looking at the statistics there were about 14 chances they managed to get but from the on target they created they only did 2 on target and one of them became a goal making us know how bad Barcelona's attack was in today's match.
It's a good thing they scored 1 goal because otherwise I'm not sure what kind of criticism they will get later when this match is over.
There were many wasted opportunities in that match and that was because the players' finishing was not good. Joao Felix failed to score a close range goal, Lewandowski too, and that was a loss in itself for Barcelona even though they could win their home game. Statistically, Barcelona should have scored 2 to 3 goals in that match, but poor finishing was the reason why they only ended the match with a score of 1-0.
The victory over Las Palmas once again confirmed that Barcelona is still able to maintain its good performance to get maximum points. Barcelona is able to maintain a 2-point gap above Girona, while they might get closer to Real Madrid if Bilbao wins today. If Real Madrid wins, then the points gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona and Girona does not change, it is still the same as before.
The bar is always a problem because on several occasions the chances they created hit the bar but on the other hand that is not the reason that Las Palmas were lucky because in the end it was still Barcelona who did not have good finishing in this match which made the situation not too favorable for them.
Although 3 points were won in this match, the difference is still the same because Madrid also won quite convincingly despite the absence of Vini in the squad but Rodrygo was able to make a difference in yesterday's match.
The situation is still the same where the points are still quite tight for Barcelona and Girona as well as Bilbao and Atletico Madrid who are still quite able to compete in the Champions League Zone, although for the position of champions and the race for the trophy it seems difficult because it is possible that Madrid is the one who secured it again.
