In a dominant display at home, Barcelona secured a convincing 3-0 triumph over Mallorca in LaLiga, maintaining their top-of-the-table position.
Hansi Flick’s team took control from the start, dictating play and tempo throughout. Marcus Rashford came close early with a missed shot, but he was instrumental in setting up the opening goal. The veteran striker played into the hands of Dani Olmo, who reacted fastest to Rashford’s blocked effort, guiding the ball towards Robert Lewandowski for a calm finish at the 29th minute.
Barcelona continued their aggressive style after halftime. Marc Casado nearly found the net with a post-saving strike as they pressed persistently. The home side’s persistence paid off in the 61st minute when Lamine Yamal produced a breathtaking long-range effort to double Barcelona’s lead, showcasing his prolific form across all competitions.
The young attacker added another layer of depth by scoring again with an impressive solo run and composed finish shortly after half-time. Substitute Marc Bernal also made a significant contribution by adding the third goal, completing a comprehensive victory for the Catalan side.
With their win, Barcelona now boast 58 points, four ahead of second-placed Real Madrid who are set to face Valencia on Sunday.
