Historic victory happened at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

Las Palmas rewrote the history today as they defeated 2-1 Barcelona at Catalonia for their 1st triumph at Barcelona.

The 1st half finished without goals as the most significant thing was the Alejandro Balde injury that forced him to be replaced.

At the beginning of the 2nd half, when the fans expected the home side to score quickly, the opposite happened as Sandro Ramirez scored the 1st goal in the match in the 49th minute after Kirian Rodriguez’s assist.

However, Raphinha showed that he is in a fantastic form and tied the result after Pedri’s assist in the 61st minute. For the 2nd time in the game, all expectations were that the Catalan side would soon score again and take the lead, but only 6 minutes later, former Wolverhampton forward Fabio Silva gave the away side the lead again.

Until the end of the match, Barcelona failed to score again and record a 3rd straight match in LaLiga without a victory. During that period, the Catalan side won only 1 point, while Las Palmas, with the win, climbed to 14th place.
