Barcelona Struggles: One Point, Five Goals Conceded in Last Three La Liga Matches

 

FC Barcelona's recent form in La Liga has raised concerns, with the team collecting just one point from their last three league games while conceding five goals. The latest setback came in a 2-1 defeat to Las Palmas, a match where defensive lapses and a lack of sharpness in front of goal proved costly.

Las Palmas capitalized on Barcelona's missteps, with ex-Blaugrana players Sandro Ramírez and Munir El Haddadi heavily influencing the outcome. Despite Ferran Torres netting an equalizer, Barcelona's defensive vulnerabilities were exposed yet again, allowing Las Palmas to snatch victory late in the game.

In their previous two matches, Barcelona managed a 2-2 draw with Mallorca and suffered a 1-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano. The defensive fragility, including frequent turnovers and an inability to neutralize counterattacks, has left Xavi's side vulnerable. Additionally, Barcelona has struggled offensively, failing to convert possession into clinical opportunities​.

The recent slump not only jeopardizes Barcelona’s momentum but also tightens the La Liga title race. Rivals like Real Madrid have seized the opportunity to close the gap, further intensifying pressure on Xavi's team to find solutions quickly​

The question remains: Can Barcelona rectify their defensive lapses and revive their title ambitions? Only a strategic overhaul and improved discipline on the pitch will determine their fate in this fiercely competitive season.
