Summary
Barcelona moved seven points ahead of Real Madrid after beating Mallorca 1-0, with Dani Olmo netting a late winner. The win extended their Spanish league lead to seven points over their rivals, who face Getafe on Wednesday. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick made key changes, including bringing back Ansu Fati and missing Robert Lewandowski due to injury. Meanwhile, Mallorca, struggling to win matches in recent weeks, sits ninth with just two wins from nine games. The result keeps both teams tied on 39 points but gives Barcelona a game-in-hand.
