Barcelona Ends Their Mini Crisis with a Dominant 5-1 Victory over Mallorca
After a difficult three-match stretch without a win, Barcelona has finally returned to their winning ways, cruising to a 5-1 victory over Mallorca in a much-needed La Liga fixture. The Blaugrana have shaken off their recent slump and sent a powerful message to their rivals with this resounding performance.
The game at Son Moix marked a turning point for Barcelona, with coach Hansi Flick opting for changes to his starting lineup. Star striker Robert Lewandowski was rested, while young sensation Lamine Yamal returned to the starting XI. It was the perfect decision, as Yamal played a key role in Barcelona’s rejuvenation, directly contributing to four of their five goals.

Barcelona took the lead early, though the goal was far from pretty. A mix-up in the Mallorca defense led to Ferran Torres scoring after a mishit ball, giving the visitors a 1-0 advantage. Despite dominating possession, Barcelona’s inability to convert chances kept Mallorca in the game. Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal squandered several opportunities, and Mallorca capitalized on one of their few attacks when Vedat Muriqi equalized just before halftime.
But the second half was a different story. Barcelona came out with renewed intensity, and soon enough, they were back in front. Raphinha, always dangerous, scored from a penalty after Lamine Yamal was fouled in the box. Then, it was the magic of Yamal that truly took over. His brilliant assist to Raphinha helped make it 3-1, and shortly after, Frenkie de Jong added a fourth. Pau VÃctor completed the rout with a late strike, giving Barcelona an emphatic 5-1 victory.
Mallorca, though tough in defense, could not handle the relentless pressure from Barcelona in the second half. Their attempts to counter were thwarted by Barcelona’s high defensive line, and their numerous offside traps only led to frustration. With the win, Barcelona has reasserted themselves as genuine contenders for the La Liga title.
This victory not only ended a brief crisis but also served as a strong reminder of Barcelona’s potential when they’re firing on all cylinders. Their confidence is back, and with the likes of Yamal showing such promise, the rest of La Liga will be on alert. Barcelona’s season is far from over, and they’ve made it clear that they are back in the title race.
