Mallorca seeks redemption in the 2025/26 season after finishing 10th in La Liga, having won only two of their last ten matches. Captain Antonio Raillo emphasizes the importance of staying in the top division and taking each game one at a time. Barcelona, under coach Hansi Flick, aims to build on last season's success, having secured three titles. Flick expresses satisfaction with the team's training and insists that confidence and teamwork are essential for the upcoming matches. Mallorca faces a challenge with injury concerns, including Samu Costa's absence due to knee injury.
"We've come off a few years of coming up short, whether in the Copa del Rey or La Liga, being one game away from Europe," long-serving defender and captain Antonio Raillo told Mallorca's website. "But we're going to take it game by game. The first objective is to stay in the [top] division, which I hope will be achieved soon."
"I'm very happy with what I've seen in training," observed Flick. "The team is working hard to improve every day. Winning three titles last year is not the end, it's the continuation. We'll give everything again this season."
"It's always good to start with wins but the most important thing is to believe in how we want to play and keep our confidence. The road is long."
Flick added that he "doesn't care" how many goals Lamine Yamal scores. "He's training very well, on and off the ball, defending and pressing," said Flick. "What matters is winning together."
