Barcelona delivered an emphatic response to their recent league struggles by dismantling Mallorca 5-1 in LaLiga's Round 19. The win, fueled by a stellar second-half brace from Raphinha, extended Barcelona’s lead at the top of the table to four points.
Following a surprising home defeat to UD Las Palmas, Barcelona entered the match with renewed determination. Their intent was clear early on, and in the 12th minute, Ferran Torres capitalized on a defensive mishap to slot home his second goal of the season. Torres could have doubled his tally shortly after, but Mallorca goalkeeper Leo Román made a crucial save, while Lamine Yamal missed a golden opportunity to extend the lead.
Despite Barcelona's dominance, Mallorca found an equalizer before halftime. Pablo Maffeo’s unselfish square pass set up Vedat Muriqi for a close-range finish, leaving the score 1-1 at the break.
Hansi Flick's side came out firing in the second half, with Torres and Raphinha both testing Román. The pressure paid off when Johan Mojica fouled Yamal in the box, earning Barcelona a penalty. Raphinha confidently converted, marking his 15th goal across all competitions this season.
Raphinha continued his inspired performance, adding a second goal with a clinical finish off Yamal's exquisite trivela assist. With momentum firmly on their side, Barcelona added two late goals to seal the rout. Frenkie de Jong pounced on a loose ball to score, and the Dutchman later set up Pau Victor for a straightforward finish.
