The start of the 15th round of Spain's La Liga brought a few surprises, with Barcelona delivering one of them.
Details: Hansi Flick's side approached the match against Las Palmas as the league leaders, aiming to secure an easy three points. The Catalans were superior to their opponents in every aspect, but it was Las Palmas who opened the scoring in the 49th minute.
Raphinha quickly equalized for Barcelona, but the visitors managed to score again. In the end, Barcelona unexpectedly lost at home, and Las Palmas achieved a feat not seen in 41 years.

The fact is that Las Palmas had not scored more than one goal at Barcelona's home ground since 1983, when the Catalan team had secured a crushing 7-2 victory.
Furthermore, Barcelona risks losing its top spot, as Real Madrid is now only four points behind with two games in hand.
