Overview

• Barcelona's six-point lead in La Liga has shrunk to just one after a difficult November, including losses to Real Sociedad and Las Palmas and a draw with Celta Vigo.
• Hansi Flick's side has struggled with converting chances, scoring only three goals in their last three league matches despite dominating possession in most games.
• Flick has emphasized the need for defensive unity and better finishing in attack to turn the team's form around, starting with Tuesday's match against Mallorca.
• Changes to the starting lineup include the return of Lamine Yamal from injury and Marc Casado replacing Pablo Torre in midfield, with Dani Olmo also starting.
• Real Madrid, currently second with a game in hand, could overtake Barcelona if Barca fails to secure a win and Madrid wins against Valencia.
