Lamine Yamal trivela assist

It was a wonderful assist from Lamine Yamal, whose trivela cross was brilliantly delivered into Raphinha, who was able to miss from only a few yards away. The fact that FC Barcelona was able to resolve this will relieve some of the strain that Hansi Flick as well as his team have been under. It would be quite amazing for the present-day La Liga leaders to earn victory since Son Moix does not seem to be an easy venue to visit.

Inside the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix on Tuesday, FC Barcelona defeated RCD Mallorca 5-1, with Raphinha scoring a brace to put them back on track in La Liga. Ferran Torres and replacements Frenkie de Jong as well as Pau Victor were the Catalans' other goal scorers. With two more games played than opponent Real Madrid, who are now in second place, Hansi Flick's team moved up to the top spot of the 2024–25 La Liga points standings by four points.

FC Barcelona finally claim a victory in La Liga

Following three straight La Liga losses to Real Sociedad, Celta Vigo, and Las Palmas, FC Barcelona has been feeling the strain in recent weeks. Nevertheless, the league leaders' decisive 5-1 victory against RCD Mallorca at Son Moix put a stop to the skid in spectacular fashion.

Robert Lewandowski was rested, therefore Ferran Torres got his first start in two months. After 12 minutes, he opened the tally on the night after a major defensive blunder by Mallorca defender Johan Mojica. But thanks to Vedat Muriqi, the home team managed to equalize just before halftime. Nevertheless, FC Barcelona would dominate the second half. After the Mallorca defender had fouled Lamine Yamal, Raphinha added from the penalty spot, and the Brazilian winger scored his second goal on minute 74.

Frenkie de Jong scored his first goal of the campaign shortly after, which will relieve some of the strain on him. Pau Victor, a fellow replacement, would also score during the 84th minute. Barcelona now leads La Liga by four points as a result of the outcome, despite having played two more games than their closest rivals, Real Madrid.
