In a shocking turn of events, Barcelona's 125th anniversary celebrations were dampened as Las Palmas pulled off a stunning 2-1 victory!

The football world was rocked this past weekend when La Liga leaders Barcelona faced off against fellow Spanish squad Las Palmas in a match that turned the celebration of the Catalan giants' 125th anniversary into a memorable heartbreak. The Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys was buzzing with excitement as fans anticipated a thrilling showcase of talent, but Las Palmas had other plans, turning the glamorous event into an unexpected fiesta of their own.

Las Palmas didn’t just show up; they came out to win, catching everyone by surprise.
