Barcelona are supposed to be leading the game by at least three goals but have been really wasteful with their opportunities. Mallorca too should have corrected the misbehavior of Barcelona and scored more goals but have being seeing their chances ruled off for offside and even though they have responded and equalled the scoreline, it isn't enough.
OMG! Raphinha just missed his chance to give his side the lead before the break!
The first half has just come to a close and I'm hoping that Barca can come back into the game and get three points since they are just one point above Madrid, losing or drawing this game will just see them kissing their top spot goodbye.
Records have it that in the four games that Lamine Yamal have been away, the blaugrana have lost, I hope the kid's presence today can help Hans Flick's boys win.
And the wonder kid has done it! Although not having any goals himself no matter how hard he tried, Lamine Yamal was instrumental in the first three goals that Barcelona in the beginning of the second half.
Hans Flick will be impressed by how well his team dominated the second half and if you look at it, Mallorca weren't a threat because a team who can't time their runs and are always being caught offside shows they are desperate and will make mistakes so it's good that Barcelona were able to punish their desperation. With this win, the blaugrana are now four points away from real Madrid.
Flick has brought good statistics to Barcelona; if not for the offside line, which has helped Barcelona this season, Barcelona will lose a lot of points. Barcelona did a good job against Mallorca tonight; they didn't have as many chances to score as Barcelona had in the second half; they can control the offside line; they make mistakes like Real Madrid did against them, allowing Barcelona to have more chances to defeat Madrid in the league. Flick has returned with the fantastic performance he has been putting on since the season began. Let us watch how Real Madrid plays their next game versus Athletic Bilbao. And Madrid is playing away, but since Real Madrid is going well right now, I'm sure they will try there best and defeat them. so that they will still have the confidence that they will top the league competition if they defeat Valencia on there upstanding matches. and madrid players are started coming back from injured that will make the competition more tough. Ancelotti will need to win tomorrow and still focus on the champions league against Atalanta.
