Barcelona achieved a difficult victory over Las Palmas with a 2-0 scoreline in the match that took place last night, allowing the Catalan team to maintain their lead in La Liga with 54 points.
Despite the victory, Barcelona struggled during the match with a lackluster performance, as the team seemed unable to reach the required level for large portions of the game. While the positive result was secured, the locker room after the match was filled with tension and anger from one of the key players in the lineup.

According to information from the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional”, Lamine Yamal, one of the standout stars of the season, expressed extreme dissatisfaction after being substituted in the final ten minutes of the match, and was visibly angry in the locker room.
The player believes that his substitution was an unjustified decision, particularly considering the performance of Robert Lewandowski, who wasted several easy opportunities in front of goal.
Yamal also pointed out that Lewandowski lacked the necessary vitality and speed to apply pressure on the Las Palmas defense, which led the young player to feel that the Polish striker, rather than himself, should have been substituted.
The situation created a tense atmosphere between the player and German coach Hansi Flick, who had relied on Yamal as a key figure in recent matches. However, this incident raised questions in the locker room about Flick’s tactical decisions and heightened tensions within the team after the match.
In the end, despite this small crisis, Barcelona held onto their lead. However, it is clear that the relationship between some players and the coach may experience fluctuations in the coming period.
