Barcelona defeated Mallorca 3-0 at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix. By the end of the first half, it became clear that the Catalan side would start the defense of the LaLiga trophy with a victory after having a 2-goal lead and playing with 2 more players on the pitch.
Everything became in the best way possible for Hansi Flick and his players as they took the lead in the 7th minute, when Lamine Yamal assisted Raphinha as Barca doubled its lead in the 23rd minute when a very controversial goal by Feran Torres was counted as home player was on the pitch with head injury, but the referee didn’t stop the match.
That led to a very nervous reaction from Mallorca as Manu Morlanes received his 2nd yellow card in the 33rd minute and left his team with 10 players. In contrast, in the 39th minute, Vedat Muriqi received a direct red card, and the home side was left with 2 fewer footballers at the end of the 1st half.
