FC Barcelona bounces back with dominant 1-5 win over Mallorca
After a three-match winless streak, FC Barcelona bounced back with a commanding 1-5 victory over Mallorca in the 16th round of La Liga. This win, highlighted by a brace from Raphinha, provided much-needed relief for the Blaugrana, who had been struggling in recent weeks with losses and draws. They had to regain their winning form to maintain their position at the top of the league.
Although FC Barcelona faced a tough period with a loss to Las Palmas and a draw against Celta Vigo, the victory in Mallorca cleared up the doubts. Coach Hansi Flick praised the team’s collective performance, highlighting the quality of their offensive play and solid defensive displays. Lamine Yamal, returning after an injury, shone by scoring a goal and winning a penalty, playing a key role in the victory.
Flick also commended players like Ferran Torres, who scored in the first half, and Frenkie de Jong, essential in midfield. With their key players performing well, Barcelona appears to have regained their rhythm. They are now looking ahead to crucial matches against Real Betis, Leganés, and Atlético Madrid. The goal is clear: finish the year at the top of the table and head into the holiday season with confidence.
