FC Barcelona suffered another setback in the Spanish championship today. Tata Martino’s side succumbed to a 1-0 defeat against the modest Valladolid team in the 27th day of La Liga.
The match started with a surprise as Fausto Rossi scored for Valladolid in the 17th minute. Despite their efforts, Barcelona struggled to regain control of the game and failed to turn the tide.
This defeat is a significant blow for Barcelona, not only in the La Liga standings, where they risk falling behind Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, but also ahead of their challenging second leg match against Manchester City in the Champions League round of 16 this Wednesday.
In the worst-case scenario, Barcelona could find themselves in third place, trailing Real Madrid by four points and Atlético Madrid by one point if both capital teams secure victories in their respective matches.
