Mallorca vs Barcelona highlights, La Liga 2024-25: MLL 1-5 BAR; Raphinha stars as Catalans return to winning ways

Barcelona returns to winning ways after easing past Mallorca as the referee blows the full-time whistle.

Yamal tries to chip Roman but the ‘keeper makes a save. Lively stuff from the youngster in the final few minutes of the match.

Fermin comes on for Raphinha.

And another one! Another substitute, this time its Pau Victor who gets on the scoresheet. All three points in Barcelona’s bag, if there ever was a doubt after it scored the fourth goal.

Gavi comes on for Pedri as Casado comes off for Eric Garcia.

And with a flash, Barcelona adds another goal! Yamal with another pass to Pau Victor who squares it, but finds no teammate. However, the defender’s weak clearance sets up Frenkie de Jong perfectly as the substitute scores.

Sanchez, Maffeo, and Muriqi off.

Larin, Morey, Prats on.

Great technique as Yamal gets a shot away on the volley but Maffeo with a crucial block.

Raphinha scores his second of the night! It is Lamine Yamal with the outside of his boot to find his teammate to bag an assist.

Goalscorer Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo come off for Pau Victor and Frenkie de Jong.

A thumping strike from the substitute as his shot whizzes over the crossbar.

Robert Navarro and Dani Rodriguez come on for Valery and Darder.

Muriqi once again getting too eager to receive the ball as he is flagged offside. His shot was saved by Pena anyway.

A clear offside but Muriqi shows intent with a flying header towards goal. The attempt was wide but Mallorca showing that it wants an equaliser quick.

No doubt there as Raphinha thumps it low in the right corner, past Roman. Barca leads.

Mojica pushes Lamine Yamal and also catches the winger’s leg with his. Penalty for Barcelona.

Raphinha goes around the wall and Roman reads it. He dives low and parries the shot away.

Raillo catches Torres in the face and the defender gets booked. Raphinha with a chance to go for goal from the edge of the box.

Ferran Torres could have had a hat-trick by now, but he once again shoots wide of the goal.

All to play for.

What a save from Roman to deny Raphinha from restoring Barcelona’s lead before the break. The rebound falls for Yamal but his shot goes wide. Muriqi’s late strike in the first half means Mallorca is back into the game.

Mallorca has equalised! It’s Muriqi who taps the pass from Maffeo into the net. Samu Costa was initially seeming to take the through ball from the midfield in his stride but an onrushing Maffeo tells his teammate to leave it for him. VAR check takes place but no offside found. Parity is restored.

Barcelona once again crowding the opposition box with its players but failing to make anything out of it. Too many touches, and too less shots troubling the ‘keeper.

Great ball from Raphinha to find Ferran Torres. However, the forward once again fails to keep the ball in his stride as he strays too acute to get an on-target shot away.

Maffeo gets a yellow card after he goes in hard and bumps into Inigo Martinez.

Against the run of play, Barca unleashes a counter-attack, virtually a 4 vs 1 in favour of the visitor. Dani Olmo plays it across to Ferran Torres, but the forward fails to collect the ball.

A start-and-stop tempo to the game now as Muriqi thinks he has beaten Barca’s offside trap, but the lines referee bursts his bubble.

Casado sees a yellow card after he fouls Maffeo.

Lamine Yamal gets the ball inside the box and he tries to hit it first time but fails to get the ball properly. The ball goes wide of the post.

Another chance for Ferran Torres but his shot is saved! Balde plays a perfect cross from the left flank and Torres tries to guide the half-volley into the net but Roman makes a good save.

Still early on in the game but Barcelona en route to breaking its winless streak in the La Liga. However, recent results show that one should wait for the full time whistle. On the other hand, Mallorca has plenty of time to bounce back, as it tries to get more of the ball.

Confusion at the back for Mallorca there! Mojica tries to clear the ball despite a host of his teammates in front of him. The clearance fails and it kindly falls for Ferran Torres, who taps it in to give the visitor the lead.

Match is a bit stretched now, neither team hogging the ball too much. End-to-end action in the opening 10 minutes.

It’s Antonio Sanchez in the thick of things for the host as he is played one-on-one with Inaki Pena, who saves the midfielder’s shot. But the lines referee flags the move offside.

The teenager showing his nimble feet by evading defenders but Olmo fails to keep the ball as a Mallorca player is brought down.

Cubarsi brings down Sanchez as he sees a yellow card.

It’s Mallorca which gets us going in this La Liga fixture.

Barcelona had started its season under new manager Hansi Flick in great form -- winning 11 of its first 12 La Liga matches, averaging over three goals per game and thrashing old rival Real Madrid 4-0.

But suddenly it seems to have hit a brick wall as it has picked up only one point in its last three matches.

Defeats against Real Sociedad and Las Palmas cut Barcelona’s comfortable nine-point lead in the standings to just one and Flick is now under pressure to break the winless run against Mallorca on Tuesday.

Since overcoming local rival Espanyol 3-1 a month ago, Barca was beaten 1-0 at Real Sociedad, gave up a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Celta Vigo and suffered an embarrassing 2-1 loss at home against lowly Las Palmas which arrived at Camp Nou on Saturday in the relegation zone.
