FC Barcelona suffered an unexpected defeat to UD Las Palmas in La Liga, and coach Hansi Flick addressed the issue of "disconnected" players following the loss. FC Barcelona were hoping to solidify their place at the top of the 2024-25 La Liga standings following their 125th anniversary celebrations.

Las Palmas claimed a surprise 2-1 victory at La Liga leaders Barcelona on Saturday, spoiling the hosts' 125th anniversary celebrations.

The Catalans went back to winning ways midweek, defeating Stade Brestois 3–0 in the UEFA Champions League with a commanding display. A loss to Real Sociedad and a demoralizing draw against Celta Vigo in Barcelona's last two games in La Liga have seen its lead shrink to four points over Real Madrid.
