During his pre-game news conference before Barcelona's trip to RCD Mallorca, manager Hansi Flick focused heavily on the term "fight." Before Monday's training session, the German coach spent an hour talking with his team, highlighting their mistakes during a three-game losing streak in La Liga.

Having watched his team lose against a Las Palmas full of character Hansi Flick was passionate about highlighting the principle of battling for victory. Another intense matchup is anticipated when they play at Son Moix on Tuesday. Barcelona's lead at the top has decreased as a result of their three straight La Liga losses. Barcelona is now four points behind Real Madrid and only two points behind Atletico Madrid. With two games remaining, Real will surpass Barcelona if they win their next two games.

Las Palmas ruined La Liga leaders Barcelona's festivities for their 125th anniversary. Flick criticized the club for not playing at their best level but maintained that he still had faith and confidence in his players. Flick was also asked whether he was considering rotating his team, given that Barcelona will play Mallorca away on Tuesday and then go to Real Betis and Borussia Dortmund. It has been seen that the amount of pushing has decreased from a month ago.

“Yesterday, I thought a lot about that, about what to change, who needs a rest. But when I saw, what happened, everyone was right, everyone wanted to play and was ready to play, and this was a good sign from the team. That maybe makes it easier, maybe less easy.” “In the end, we have three away matches and it will be tough, but everyone is there, and today I see they are right, the second day after the match. I can also see it in the data.”

Although Dani Olmo missed out on a starting position against Las Palmas because of an injury worry, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has indicated that Olmo is back in the running against RCD Mallorca. He refused to specify when Ronald Araujo would return. As the Blaugrana looked for an equalizer against Las Palmas, Olmo was on the bench but was not used, and Araujo has resumed practising with the club without any limitations.
