Gerard Romero is not beating around the bush after Barça's latest setback in LaLiga. Minutes after the defeat against Las Palmas, the journalist from ' Jijantes ' didn't mince his words on the program ' Gol a Gol '. Asked about the current situation, he described it as "a mess in general" and regretted unfortunately that "they say that celebrations are not always complete".
Speaking about the defeat against Las Palmas, Gerard Romero was blunt: " It's a big blow. It's a situation where you get 1 out of 9 in LaLiga and it hurts. Today you didn't expect it, you came out with a very brave Las Palmas, with very clear ideas and knowing how to play ."
In this regard, Romero added: " Everything went their way and you didn't: you weren't accurate with the final pass, defense, goalkeeping... The goals were very easy ."
Gerard Romero concluded by warning: " You are in a situation in which, indeed, you have to raise the alarms. There is a red light and it is already flashing, obviously the situation is worrying right now. We have to know if it is a physical or tactical problem, it is Hansi Flick 's moment ."
Barça Loses against Las Palmas, Gerard Romero Knows It: Real Madrid Can Get Closer
Before the break, the Catalans had the chance to take the lead with a great shot from Raphinha, but it didn't go in. After this, in the 49th minute, Sandro put UD Las Palmas ahead at Montjuïc to the anger of the Barça fans . Hansi Flick made a change of pace and, minutes later, Raphinha equalised again.
However, the joy was short-lived for the blaugrana club: if Raphinha scored the equaliser in the 61st minute, Las Palmas took the lead again in the 67th minute. They did so through a move that Fabio Silva converted, leaving Iñaki Peña standing in his goal.
Overall, the reality is that Barça was superior to Las Palmas, but it was not enough to win. In the middle was Cordero Vega, a referee who tipped the balance in favor of a team that didn't deserve to win. LaLiga is going to be very complicated for Hansi Flick's team, especially if Real Madrid wins .
