FC Barcelona were able to achieve a 5-1 victory over Mallorca in the La Liga 2024-25 match played at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix ground in Palma, Spain. FCB manager Hansi Flick has heaped praise on young striker Lamine Yamal and his contribution in helping the visitors end their three-match losing streak. Yamal wasn’t able to take in any match for almost four weeks due to an ankle injury but made a fantastic comeback after injury. During Yamal’s absence, FCB struggled in the field and could only make one point from the last three games.

At one point, when FC Barcelona had lost their momentum, had allowed Real Madrid to replace them from the top position, however, win against Mallorca has stretched the points gap to four. FCB are currently placed on the top spot of the points table followed by Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. While, Yamal’s return played a crucial role in helping the FC Barcelona win the match, their top striker Robert Lewandowski was rested for the match. The Polish striker has scored 15 goals in the tournament so far.
While speaking in the post match interview, Hansi Flick said, “Lewandowski needed to rest, we had to look after him. And Ferran (Torres) had a very good game and scored the first goal. It’s very important for him too. Whenever we need him, he’s always there. Today we didn’t need to play Lewandowski.”
FC Barcelona will be looking forward on continuing their momentum in the upcoming matches of La Liga and UEFA Champions League.
