Out of 17 games in La Liga, Luis Enrique’s men had only managed 10 wins. While the Catalans had only had two defeats, they had drawn 5 times this season, which left them in third place behind Sevilla.
A win was necessary if the Blaugrana wanted to challenge for the title, and their immediate adversary, wasn’t going to make things easy. Las Palmas entered this tie, on the back-end of a 3-2 win over Atletico midweek, which was a precursor to the quality of the Yellows.
Could the Canary Islanders dent Barca’s title defence?
