Stuck in a series of three La Liga matches without any victory, FC Barcelona resumed its march forward against Mallorca this Tuesday on the 19th day (1-5). The Blaugrana accelerated in the second half.
FC Barcelona has resumed its march forward. This Tuesday, on the occasion of the 19th day of La Liga, Hansi Flick's team returned to success on the pitch of Mallorca (1-5). With this victory, the Blaugrana retain the lead in the standings but are under direct threat from Real Madrid who have two games in hand to play. After three games without winning (two defeats and a draw), the Catalans reassured themselves in the Balearic Islands. The La Liga leader dominated his opponent in all aspects of the game, opening the scoring through Ferran Torres in the 12th minute following an error by the Mallorcan defense. In the wake of this goal, the scorer tried to double the lead but came up against Roman's save. And the least we can say is that this rescue allowed RCD Mallorca to get back on track since they equalized just before the break thanks to Muriqi, after a well-negotiated two against one.
A double from Raphinha
Challenged by their opponent, FC Barcelona returned to the lead in the second half by obtaining a penalty shortly before the hour mark. And as is often the case, Raphinha did not hold back to give his team the advantage with a cross strike while Roman was on the right side. Inspired, the former Rennais scored a double twenty minutes later by cutting the marvelous cross from the outside of Lamine Yamal's foot. On the right track, the FCB then pressed where it hurts to take cover. Thus Frenkie De Jong and Pau Victor scored their goal to seal the victory for the Catalans and restart Hansi Flick's machine.
