Heartbreaking to many people including the non Barcelona fans who watched with keen interest. Hansi Flick had started this season with much energy that got many people praising him and also thinking that he could win this season effortlessly with his strategic offensive tactics. Today's match against Las Palmas will make it the third successive La Liga matches that's been lost by Barcelona.

Many were already celebrating over the penalty chance that Barcelona got towards the 90th minutes of the game but to my greatest surprise nothing was materialized from it. Its more heartbreaking to the Barca side considering that they were the hosts. Real Madrid is just three points below the Barcelona club at the La Liga league table standing today.

It is a really disappointing kind of a drop in performance by Barcelona these days. How did they manage to lose to Las Palmas home?  Huh  They even got behind for 2 times during the game. When we check the lineup they didn't have 2 of their usual players. Yamal was among the substitutes after recovering from his injury. Olmo also didn't play. I guess Hansi Flick wanted to rest him after the Brest game.

When Yamal entered at the beginning of the second half, I got more hopeful. However they still got a bad loss... Now Real Madrid technically have a big chance to take the lead from Barcelona considering they have a missing game.

The Barcelona coach made a serious mistake by making changes to the starting eleven. Before he arrived at Barcelona, ​​the team played with a certain starting eleven and lost. Then he arrived and created another starting eleven that produced good results. However, with Yamal's injury, he went back to playing with the old starting eleven that lost a lot. It seems to me that he should always keep the same good starting eleven, which would be Raphinha playing on the right, Robert Lewandowski in the middle and Yamal on the left. In the center with Pedri or Olmo and in the midfield with Casado and De Jong. In defense he would put Martin, Martinez, Cubarsi and Kounde. Inaki Pena as goalkeeper. I think that with this eleven, Barcelona would have won today's game.
