The team led by Jagoba Arrasate had achieved an almost unbreakable defensive solidity, but Hansi Flick's pupils overwhelmed them and made them pay the price for the recent matches.

Barça won, scored, convinced and enjoyed themselves against RCD Mallorca. It was not an easy match at all, as visiting Son Moix is ​​a tough nut to crack. However, the culé team needed to win and took advantage to let off steam against the vermilions. The local team resisted in the first half, but could not cope with the attacks that came in the second half and that caused them to be crushed in their own home.

Until now, the squad led by Jagoba Arrasate was a very solid team. They arrived in sixth place and with a victory they would manage to rise to fourth place, although it would not be definitive until their rivals played the games they have less. The key to their modus operandi is to play as a block, both when attacking and defending. A very similar idea to that applied by the same coach during his time at Osasuna. This makes them a very uncomfortable team for their opponents.

Goodbye to Mallorca's streak of the lowest points

Just like Osasuna, Arrasate's former team, altered the number of goals conceded per game by Barça, as until that game they had not conceded more than one goal in LaLiga, the Blaugrana team did something similar with Mallorca. As was pointed out in the preview of the match, the Bermellón team is not a very goal-scoring club, as they have only scored 16 goals in the same number of matches. However, they had not conceded more than 2 goals in a match and, both in victory and defeat, their matches were always resolved by the minimum difference.

However, FC Barcelona ended this statistic. The heaviest defeat that the Balearic club had suffered this season was a 2-1. Against the visiting culé, they were completely crushed, as they received 5 goals. Considering that they had only conceded 13 goals up to that point, now that the figure has risen to 18, Hansi Flick's men sent 27.78% of their total into the back of the net.
