The match was crucial for Barcelona after a disappointing home loss to Las Palmas in the previous round. Under coach Hansi Flick, the team saw their lead at the top of the table threatened by Real Madrid, who had won 2-0 against Getafe, closing the gap to just one point.
With Lewandowski on the bench, Barcelona took the lead in the 11th minute through Ferran Torres. Despite a relatively quiet first half, Mallorca equalized in the 42nd minute with Muriqi, sending the teams into the break tied.
In the second half, however, the league leaders took control. Raphinha put Barcelona back in front with a penalty in the 55th minute, and just 20 minutes later, he added another to make it 3-1. With the game well in hand, Barcelona sealed the win with goals from Frenkie de Jong in the 33rd minute and Pau Víctor in the 39th.
As a result, Barcelona now has 37 points and remains at the top of La Liga, four points ahead of second-place Real Madrid, who have two games in hand. Mallorca, despite the heavy defeat, continues to have a solid season and stays in sixth place with 24 points, although they could be overtaken by Osasuna, Girona, and Real Sociedad once the round is completed.
