Barcelona came into this match under pressure following three consecutive winless La Liga games against Real Sociedad, Celta Vigo, and Las Palmas. However, they responded in style, securing a commanding 5-1 victory over Mallorca at Son Moix.

Ferran Torres, making his first start in two months in place of the rested Robert Lewandowski, gave Barcelona the lead after just 12 minutes, capitalizing on a major defensive error from Mallorca’s Johan Mojica. Mallorca managed to level the score just before halftime through Vedat Muriqi.

However, Barcelona dominated in the second half. Raphinha converted a penalty after Mojica fouled Lamine Yamal, and then added another goal on the 74th minute. Frenkie de Jong also got on the scoresheet with his first goal of the season, easing some pressure on him. In the final minutes, substitute Pau Victor added a fifth for Barcelona.

This emphatic win lifts Barcelona four points clear at the top of La Liga, though they have played two more matches than second-place Real Madrid.
