Highlights and goals: Barcelona 1-0 Mallorca in LaLiga
Lamine Yamal saved Barcelona
Despite their dominance in ball possession, Barcelona faced difficulties in penetrating Mallorca's defense and creating clear scoring opportunities. The most outstanding moment of the first half was a penalty in favor of Barcelona, taken by Gündogan, but masterfully saved by the rival goalkeeper. Meanwhile, Mallorca looked to take advantage of the spaces left by Barcelona, using long passes and crosses aimed at Larin and Muriqi, who created some dangerous opportunities. Despite the lack of brilliance in their game, Barcelona achieved victory thanks to a brilliant individual play by Yamal, who scored a great goal. However, the Catalan team suffered in defense against a solid and dangerous Mallorca on counterattacks. Although the victory was tight, Barcelona achieved the three points in a match where they did not shine but knew how to find the way to victory.
