Barcelona continued their impressive run in La Liga with a 1-0 victory over Mallorca at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. The win allows Barcelona to maintain a seven-point lead at the top of the league standings, although this gap could shrink if Real Madrid secures a victory against Getafe in their upcoming match.

Manager Hansi Flick made significant changes to the lineup ahead of the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid, opting to rest regular starters. Notable players like Hector Fort, Eric Garcia, and Ansu Fati were given starting positions, which resulted in a challenging first half for Barcelona. The team struggled to break through a well-organized Mallorca defense, with goalkeeper Leo Roman making several key saves to keep the score level at halftime.

The breakthrough for Barcelona came just after the second half began. Eric Garcia played a crucial role, assisting Dani Olmo, who skillfully turned inside the penalty area and curled a shot into the far corner, evading Roman's reach. This early goal in the second half alleviated some pressure from Barcelona, allowing them to control the game more effectively.

Despite having multiple opportunities to extend their lead, Barcelona was unable to find the back of the net again, as Roman continued to impress with his performance in goal. The match capped off another critical step toward Barcelona's title aspirations, setting them up positively for their imminent Copa del Rey final against their fierce rivals, Real Madrid.

With this victory, Barcelona not only strengthens their position in La Liga but also builds momentum as they aim for success in multiple competitions this season. The team remains focused on maintaining their dominance in the league as they look ahead to the challenges that await them in the coming weeks.
