Overview

  • Raphinha opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a Lamine Yamal assist, and Ferran Torres doubled the lead in the 23rd after play continued despite Antonio Raillo’s head injury.
  • Manu Morlanes received a second yellow card and Vedat Muriqi was sent off before halftime, leaving Mallorca with nine men for almost an hour.
  • Lamine Yamal capped the victory with a curling stoppage-time goal, reinforcing his role as Barcelona’s most influential creative force.
  • Critics questioned the referee and VAR for not intervening on Yamal’s potentially out-of-play touch in the build-up to the opener and for allowing the second goal during Raillo’s stoppage.
  • Mallorca captain Antonio Raillo said he felt “dizzy” after the collision, and manager Jagoba Arrasate joined club officials in lodging formal complaints over officiating and concussion protocols.
