FC Barcelona\u2019s winless run in La Liga has reached three matches following a 2-1 defeat to relegation-threatened Las Palmas at Estadi Ol\u00edmpic Llu\u00eds Companys. The loss was further compounded by an injury to Alejandro Balde in the first half.<\/p>\n
Las Palmas took the lead early in the second half through Sandro Ram\u00edrez, but Barcelona quickly equalized with a goal from Raphinha. However, Fabio Silva netted the decisive goal for Las Palmas, securing an unexpected win for the visitors.<\/p>\n
Barcelona\u2019s manager, Hansi Flick, was critical of his team\u2019s performance, stating they did not do enough to deserve a win. Flick expressed frustration over the team\u2019s inability to make the most of scoring chances, saying, \u201cWe didn\u2019t play well. The team tried for a good result, but today wasn\u2019t our day. We weren\u2019t effective and didn\u2019t take advantage of the opportunities we had.\u201d<\/p>\n
Flick also noted that the team\u2019s recent struggles stem from a failure to control games and create chances. \u201cWhen we control the games, we play well and create chances, but when we don\u2019t, it\u2019s our issue,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
The German coach pointed out that the team\u2019s difficulties are not limited to the defense but are a collective problem. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about the defense, it\u2019s a team issue. We need to defend better, and if we don\u2019t score, it\u2019s harder to keep a clean sheet,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Flick also updated on Lamine Yamal, who returned from injury in the match. \u201cAfter two weeks without team training, it\u2019s good he could come back and play a few minutes, especially with the upcoming game against Mallorca. It\u2019s positive that he played 45 minutes and should be able to start against Mallorca,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
