Barça Stumbles in La Liga: Shock Home Defeat to Las Palmas

 La Liga Leaders Barça Suffer Setback in Anniversary Match, Falling 2-1 to Las Palmas

FC Barcelona endured another disappointing night in La Liga, losing 2-1 at home to 14th-placed Las Palmas on matchday 15. The defeat marred the celebration of the Blaugrana club's 125th anniversary and allowed Real Madrid an opportunity to narrow the points gap at the top.

Sandro Ramírez broke the deadlock for Las Palmas shortly after halftime (49'). While Barça captain Raphinha briefly leveled the score (61'), Fabio Silva's decisive strike (67') secured a memorable victory for the visitors.

Despite remaining atop the standings, Barça's lead has shrunk to four points over Real Madrid, who have two games in hand and host Getafe on Sunday.

This marks the Catalan side's third consecutive La Liga match without a win, following a 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad and a 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo.
