Early Control and Clinical Finishing
The home side asserted their dominance early, with Lewandowski breaking the deadlock in the 29th minute. The Polish striker's goal came from a deft pass by Dani Olmo, highlighting Barcelona's fluid attacking play.

Second Half Surge Seals Victory
The second half saw Barcelona ramp up the pressure, and it didn't take long for Lamine Yamal to double the lead in the 61st minute, again assisted by Olmo. The youngster's goal was followed by a wave of substitutions from both sides, but it was Barcelona who continued to dictate the pace. M. Bernal wrapped up the scoring in the 83rd minute, ensuring a comfortable win.
Dominant Possession and Stifling Defense

Their defense was equally robust, allowing only 9 total shots from Mallorca, with the visitors unable to find any significant breakthroughs. Eric García was pivotal, winning nine duels and making four tackles, underscoring the solid defensive performance.
Looking Ahead
