Barcelona continues to show exceptional form in La Liga, recording their 14th match without defeat (12 wins, 2 draws) with a narrow 1-0 victory over Mallorca at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, consolidating first place in the standings.
After a dramatic 4-3 defeat to Celta Vigo, where they scored three times in the last 30 minutes, the Catalans were looking to maintain their five-point lead at the top of the table. Although coach Hansi Flick decided to rest names like Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, the team created numerous chances in the first half, but failed to convert them. Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati missed several good opportunities, while goalkeeper Leo Román proved to be unbeatable. Gavi had a golden chance, but his shot was deflected by Copete and ended up on the post.
Mallorca, aiming for a place in Europe, held out well in the first half and had a goal disallowed for offside by Mateo Jaume.
Barcelona started the second half by scoring in the first minute with a goal from Dani Olmo, who scored his ninth goal in 11 games as a starter in La Liga this season.
Despite Mallorca's efforts to react, Barcelona managed the remainder of the match well and secured three important points ahead of the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid this Saturday. (A2 Televizion)
