Barcelona’s poor form laid bare by surprise Xavi stat comparison

Barcelona’s electric start to the season is threatening to fizzle out and they suffered another setback on Saturday as Las Palmas ruined their 125th anniversary celebrations with a shock 2-1 win in La Liga.

Hansi Flick had led the Blaugrana to a six-point lead in Spain’s title race but that advantage has been whittled down and could be almost entirely wiped out when rivals Real Madrid take on Getafe on Sunday.
