Lamine Yamal's Return Sparks Barcelona's Dominant Win Over Mallorca

Posted : 03 December 2024

Teenage sensation Lamine Yamal made a triumphant return to Barcelona's starting lineup, inspiring a commanding 5-1 victory over Mallorca after recovering from an ankle injury.

 

Manager Hansi Flick highlighted Yamal's impact on the team's performance, as his absence during a four-week injury spell had coincided with Barcelona's struggles, earning only one point in three LaLiga matches.

 

 The victory ended a frustrating three-game winless streak and restored Barcelona's momentum at the top of the table.

 

Speaking after the match, Flick emphasized Yamal's influence, noting the teenager’s ability to create opportunities and lift the team's overall game. "Yamal was very important for us today; he always brings positive things to the team," Flick told Movistar Plus.

 

 Although Yamal didn’t find the net, Flick praised his overall performance, adding, "He could have scored one or two goals today and played very well." Flick also commended the team's persistence after Mallorca briefly equalized during the first half, calling the collective effort a key factor in the result.

 

Interestingly, Barcelona managed the emphatic win without their prolific striker Robert Lewandowski, who was rested after starting all 20 of the team’s previous matches this season.

 

In his absence, Ferran Torres capitalized on defensive errors by Mallorca to open the scoring, setting the tone for the dominant display. "Lewandowski needed to rest; we had to look after him," said Flick, adding that Torres's strong performance and goal were significant for his confidence and contribution to the squad.

 

With the victory, Barcelona extended their lead at the top of LaLiga to 37 points, four points ahead of Real Madrid, who have two games in hand.

 

 Atletico Madrid remain in third place with 32 points and a game in hand as well. The return of Yamal and the team's improved performance bolster Barcelona's position in the title race as the season approaches its midway point.
