Barcelona 1-2 Las Palmas: Player Ratings as Blaugrana fall to Canary Islanders at 125th anniversary

Barcelona fell to Las Palmas at home to mark a disappointing 125th anniversary for the club at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. The Catalan club see their hold at the top of LaLiga become a tenuous four-points, with Real Madrid having two games in hand.

Raphinha drew Blaugrana level in the 61st minute after Pedri set the Brazilian up. The visitors restored their lead in the 67th minute after Munoz set up Fabio Silva and held on to secure a famous win.
