With goals from Lewandowski, Yamal, and Marc Bernal, defending champions Barcelona defeated Mallorca 3-0 in a key match of the 23rd round of the 2025/26 La Liga season. Despite keeping a clean sheet, Flick stated that the team's performance in the first half was not ideal and therefore hopes to show a different side in the next match.

In the 29th minute, Rashford met the ball near the edge of the penalty area and fired a long-range shot, while Lewandowski received a pass from Olmo, dealt with the defense, and fired a shot into the net, giving Barcelona a 1-0 lead.

In the 61st minute of the second half, Olmo passed the ball to Yamal, who received it near the edge of the penalty area and fired a long-range shot into the net, extending Barcelona's lead over Mallorca to 2-0. In the 82nd minute, Fermín played a diagonal pass to Marc Bernal, who received the ball and slotted it home, making it 3-0 for Barcelona.

Ultimately, Barcelona defeated Mallorca 3-0 at Camp Nou. With their third consecutive win, Barcelona remains in first place in the standings with 58 points, while Real Madrid follows closely behind with 57 points.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said, "I wasn't happy with the first half. We played too slowly and lacked energy, so I wasn't pleased. The second half was much better, and we ended up with three points, scoring three goals and not conceding any. Overall, it was a positive day."

“I asked the players if they were satisfied with the first half, and their answer was no. We pointed out areas for improvement, including positioning and the speed of passing. This wasn't the performance we wanted, but with such a tight schedule, it's sometimes unavoidable. I hope that in the next match against Atletico Madrid, we can show a completely different look from the first minute.”

Furthermore, when discussing Mark Bernal's first professional goal for Barcelona, Flick said, "After suffering a serious injury, scoring his first goal for Barcelona is very meaningful for him."

“He’s come back to the pitch step by step, it’s a great day. Everyone saw the reaction on the bench and how we celebrated his goal. It was fantastic, and it’s another step he’s taken toward his best.”
