Barcelona stamped their authority in La Liga with a clinical 3–0 victory over Mallorca at Son Moix on Saturday night, showcasing attacking flair and defensive discipline in equal measure.
The Blaugrana wasted no time in asserting dominance, with Raphinha opening the scoring in the 7th minute after a brilliant setup from Lamine Yamal. Just 16 minutes later, Ferran Torres doubled the advantage, leaving Mallorca chasing shadows. As stoppage time approached, Raphinha struck again to seal a 2–0 first-half cushion for Xavi’s men.
The second half continued in the same rhythm as substitute Dani Olmo added Barcelona’s third in the 46th minute, immediately after coming on. Despite multiple changes from the hosts, including Rodriguez, Mascarell, and Joseph to inject energy, Mallorca found no way through Barcelona’s resilient backline.
Barcelona manager made further tactical tweaks with Gavi, Rashford, and Kounde entering the fray, ensuring fresh legs maintained the intensity until the final whistle. Yamal almost capped the night with a late strike in stoppage time, but Mallorca goalkeeper Dominik Greif stood firm to avoid further damage.
