Barca increases gap with Real to 7 points

Early morning of April 23, Barca defeated Mallorca 1-0 in the early match of round 33 of La Liga.

Olmo shined with the only goal.

Barcelona continued their impressive form in La Liga with a 1-0 win over RCD Mallorca at home at the Olimpic Lluis Companys, extending their unbeaten run to 14 matches (12 wins, 2 draws) and solidifying their position at the top of the table.

At this time, the gap between Barca and Real Madrid has temporarily widened to 7 points. Early tomorrow morning (April 24), Real must win against Getafe away, if they do not want the championship race to end soon.

Returning to the match in Catalonia, Barca entered the match with high confidence. Coach Hansi Flick rotated the squad, leaving key players like Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha on the bench, but Barcelona still showed superiority in terms of game play.

Despite creating a series of good chances in the first half with shots from Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati, the "Blaugrana" still could not penetrate the net of goalkeeper Leo Roman. Mallorca spent most of the time defending but also had the ball in the home net once thanks to a shot from Mateo Jaume. However, the goal was denied for offside.

Barcelona finally opened the scoring after the break. Dani Olmo handled the ball smoothly in a tight circle of defenders, before finishing with a tricky finish into the far corner, beating goalkeeper Jaume. It was the Spaniard's ninth goal of the season, an impressive return for just 11 starts.

Although in the following minutes, the home team at Lluis Companys created a few more dangerous situations, the score of 1-0 was maintained until the end of the match.
