FC Barcelona vs Mallorca: aiming for another League victory to get closer to the title

FC Barcelona plays this Tuesday the match corresponding to matchday 33 of LaLiga EA Sports, six matches before the end of the championship and maintaining their four-point advantage over Real Madrid. Atlético, now ten points behind the lead, has already said goodbye to the championship.

Hansi Flick's team arrives with renewed spirits after the incredible comeback against Celta de Vigo (4-3). Barça was down by two goals in the 62nd minute (1-3), but managed to equalize with goals from Dani Olmo and Raphinha in just six minutes. In added time, a penalty from Rafa sealed the culé victory.

Thus, the Blaugrana team has a streak of 13 matchdays undefeated (11 wins, 2 draws), with which it is firmly heading towards obtaining its 28th League title. Four days before the Copa del Rey final, the culés also maintain the illusion of winning a new treble, the third in their history.

Facing them will be Jagoba Arrasate's team, a always complicated rival. Mallorca comes from drawing last matchday at home against Leganés (0-0) and, in the first round, suffered a 'manita' against Barça (1-5), in a match where the Catalans exploited their offensive arsenal in the second half.

Ferran Torres put Barça ahead in the 12th minute, but Vedat Muriqi equalized in the 43rd minute. However, Raphinha's double in the 56th (penalty) and 74th minutes settled the match. Towards the end, Frenkie de Jong and Pau Víctor rounded off the thrashing.

In their last visit to Montjuïc, the Balearic team fell by the minimum in matchday 28 of the 23-24 season against Xavi Hernández's team (1-0). Lamine Yamal, in the 73rd minute, scored the Catalan's winning goal, assisted by Robert Lewandowski.

Is the Unstoppable Barça Arriving? Analysis of the form for matchday 33

In that sense, Barça arrives much better than Mallorca to the matchday 33 match. Flick's team has only lost 1 match in 26 appearances this 2025 in all competitions and, in the League, they have only let slip 4 of the last 39 points in dispute.

Not in vain, the team remains undefeated in the second round. Barça stumbled against Betis (1-1) in matchday 30, but recovered with two very valuable victories against Leganés (0-1) and Celta (4-3). In their last 5 appearances, the culés have 4 wins and 1 draw, with 13 goals in favor and only 5 against.

In addition, in the direct confrontation against Mallorca, they have 6 consecutive victories at home against the Balearic team. The last time this Tuesday's rival rescued a point in Barcelona was in matchday 6 of the 2010-11 season (1-1), thanks to a goal from Emilio N'Sue in the 43rd minute. Leo Messi had put the locals ahead in the 21st minute.

RESUMEN | BARCELONA 3 vs 0 OSASUNA | LALIGA 24/25

Barcelona, on the other hand, has everything in its hands to keep the LaLiga title.

In addition, the culés have an advantage in the direct confrontation (4-0) and the goal difference (+56 Barça, +34 Madrid).

With 6 matchdays to go, Barça is the only team that depends on itself to be champion. A victory in the Clásico of matchday 35 at home will seal the title in favor of the Catalans, who also have the Copa del Rey trophy and the 'semis' of Champions within reach.

In addition, the team will play again in front of its fans, a key factor this season. So far, the balance in Montjuïc for Barça in LaLiga is 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats in 15 appearances.

The team fell in three consecutive matchdays at home in the first round (1-2 against Las Palmas, 0-1 against Leganés and 1-2 against Atlético), but after this negative streak only Betis (1-1) was able to take a point in the Blaugrana stronghold.

In the Cup, Atlético (4-4) was also able to draw at the Lluís Companys, while in the Champions League the only team that has been able to leave the Olympic Stadium alive so far was Atalanta (2-2), in a match where the Blaugrana team had already secured its pass to the round of 16.

Barça 4-3 Celta: The best and worst of the Blaugrana comeback

With the focus on the Copa del Rey final next Saturday, Hansi Flick will take advantage of the match against Mallorca to give some of his starters a rest. Iñigo Martínez is expected to stay on the bench again, with which Ronald Araujo should start alongside Pau Cubarsí in the center of defense.

Szcezny, Koundé and Gerard Martín will complete the culé back line, while Gavi would be the alternative to Frenkie de Jong to accompany Gavi. Dani Olmo, a golden revulsive against Celta, should enter for Fermín López, while Lamine Yamal is also called to return to the XI alongside Raphinha after a day of rest.

The team's '9' will be Ferran Torres, due to the injury of Robert Lewandowski. The 'Shark' scored the partial 1-0 against Celta, with which he reached 10 goals in the League and 17 in the season. The Pole, for his part, will be out along with Balde, Ter Stegen, Casadó and Bernal.

Mallorca needs to add points to stay in European places

In the case of Mallorca, Jagoba Arrasate will also not be able to count on his goalscorer, Vedat Muriqi, due to injury. The striker will be out along with Takuma Asano, Robert Navarro and Manu Morlanes. Pablo Maffeo and Dani Rodriguez will also not be available due to suspension.

The Balearic team, despite its slump in recent months, remains seventh with 44 points. Next season, Spain could have up to six representatives in the Champions League, very good news for a Mallorca that, for now, would be classified for the Conference League.

However, the team cannot afford to continue dropping points along the way, as Celta (43), Real Sociedad (42), Rayo (41) and Osasuna (41) also have many options to steal their place in European competitions in 25-26.
