Sensational at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium: the Barcelona falls disastrously at home against Las Palmas and now risks being overtaken at the top by Real Madrid (4 points down, but with two games in hand). Hansi FlickBlaugrana coach, analyzed the result like this: “It wasn’t our day. In the second half we created more chances, but it wasn’t the right day,” said the Blaugrana coach in an interview with Movistar. “When we control the games and have a favorable situation, we play well and create chances, but when that doesn’t happen, our problem emerges,” he admitted. “We need to change, defend better. If you don’t score, it’s more difficult to keep a clean sheet. It’s not just a problem for the defenders, but for the whole team. We need to find connection and solidity again.”
Flick avoided dwelling on the absence of the suspended Casadó: “I don’t want to talk about one player in particular. We could have done better as a team, and that’s what should worry us. We have some difficult games in the league, and then the one in Dortmund” .
On a positive note, Flick underlined the return of Lamine, who was used in the final minutes: “After two weeks without training with the group, it’s positive that he came back and played a few minutes. We have to see the positive side: he came back, he had minutes and he will be able to start against Mallorca.”
