"Barcelona hosted Mallorca at the Spotify Camp Nou on Saturday evening just days after their Copa del Rey win over Albacete, and did so without Raphinha and Pedri who both missed through injury. While the visitors did create threats and opportunities at times, the game was largely all Barcelona and was one of their most dominant performances in a long time."
"Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring in the first half, handing the team the lead which they held on to until half-time. Lamine Yamal then scored the team's second goal to fortify the three points before Marc Bernal went on to score a great goal out of the blue to make the scoreline more convincing. Notably, the team even maintained a clean sheet on the night."
"Joan Garcia: 8 The goalkeeper did not have a particularly quiet game in terms of making saves, but was called into action on occasion and did well with the routine saves. His distribution, as usual, was spot-on. Alejandro Balde: 7.5 Balde had less attacking responsibility on the wing against Mallorca, especially with Marcus Rashford taking care of the wide threat on the night."
