FC Barcelona are set to play against RCD Mallorca in La Liga at the Montjuic Stadium. For both teams, this is a game where three very crucial points are at stake. In the case of Barcelona, however, it is their final step before the Copa del Rey final.
While it could make sense to rotate players in this game before the match against Real Madrid, Hansi Flick will also need to consider the vulnerable state of the La Liga title race. A win here puts pressure on Los Blancos, and that is exactly what Barcelona will want to do.
Heading into this game, Barcelona have just recently won against Celta Vigo in La Liga as well. A rollercoaster of a match, it saw La Blaugrana make a massive comeback against the opposition to come back from being 1-3 down to winning 4-3.
In many ways, it was a much-needed victory for Hansi Flick’s team. Beyond just piling up pressure on the other rival La Liga teams, it also gave Barcelona the kind of momentum they needed to assure themselves that they can mount a comeback from even the worst of positions.
Moreover, in terms of form, Barça are on a positive track and look strong. Besides the stumble against Borussia Dortmund over in Germany, Barça have been almost faultless in 2025. With no other defeats at all, La Blaugrana are clearly a strong side and one that Mallorca will need to worry about.
Having scored 11 goals in their last five games while conceding 7 themselves, Barça like to play a high-risk, high-reward style of football. While it can put them in bad positions, it also allows them to play their own offensive style of football that is based on outscoring their opponents.
Mallorca, on the other hand, have been having a rough time in recent weeks. Across their last five games, they have two wins to show for themselves. However, in the entirety of 2025, they only have three wins to their name. On the other hand, they have lost 7 games this year and have drawn five games as well.
Over their last five outings, they have scored five goals and have conceded four goals. Still, they are a resilient side that is hard to beat, and Hansi Flick’s team will need to be at its very best if they hope to take on this opponent at the Montjuic Stadium.
