Barcelona had taken a 0-2 lead in the 23rd minute, but red cards for Morlanes and Vedat Muriq made things even easier for Barcelona.
Morlanes was sent off for a second yellow card. Five minutes later, Vedat received a direct red card for a serious foul on an opponent.
From that moment on, the game was over for Mallorca. Even in an 11-on-11 match, Barcelona could have dominated, but in a 9-on-11 match, Barcelona easily won the match. Two shots hit the post, and Yamal scored the final goal in the 90+4 minute, earning his team a 0-3 victory and three points in La Liga.

That's an easy win for Barcelona, like on a serious note I don't think this underdogs team will be a problem for Barcelona, so this win was expected despite the red cards, I know Barcelona would win the game, the big deal is when they start facing some tough opponents that's where we will decide their Faith and who will win the league, but I really think it's not gonna be an easy one for them this season as real Madrid will not like to go trophyless this season again, so I believe xavi Alonso's goal should be the champions League and the Spanish LA Liga, so Barcelona should watch their back because the task ahead is very tough.

Of course it's an easy win for Barcelona but it seems like they got a controversial win against a nine-man team and they have begun the defence of the La Liga title. When Mallorca Football Club was reduced to nine players in the first half of this match through the referee's correct decision, many thought that Barcelona's strikers would become goal machines in today's match but they only managed to score three goals in this match, which led their team manager to tell the media that he was not completely satisfied.

To my knowledge big teams should have the talent to put a lot of pressure on their opponents when they are a little weak, but Mallorca didn't let Barcelona do that. In this match it was expected that Rashford would be given a long chance but he entered the field in the 69th minute, in fact he played as a center forward in this match but did not score.
