Pau Víctor sealed the culé's 'little hand' against Mallorca with his 2nd goal of the season

Pau Víctor shone once again in the FC Barcelona shirt, why? Because the forward, a native of Sant Cugat del Vallés, found the back of the net once more with the Blaugrana team, scoring his second goal of the 2024-25 season in the resounding victory against RCD Mallorca (1-5) at San Moix, capably utilizing the 17 minutes of action provided by Hansi Flick against the Mallorcan side.

Pau Víctor, relegated to a substitute role due to the presence of a Robert Lewandowski who rarely leaves the starting eleven under Hansi Flick, being the undisputed starter in the number 9 position, entered the match against RCD Mallorca in the 73rd minute, with the score at 1-2 in favor of Barcelona, having a considerable amount of playing time ahead of him that he hadn't seen in a while.

It's worth noting that his last significant opportunity to showcase his football was almost a month ago, on November 6, when he played for 12 minutes against Red Star Belgrade in the UEFA Champions League. Subsequently, he made brief appearances against Real Sociedad, Celta de Vigo, and UD Las Palmas, where he barely played a minute in each match, almost residual performances.

Pau Víctor showed a keen goal-scoring instinct against Mallorca

This time, Pau Víctor responded remarkably to Hansi Flick's trust, demonstrating how a striker knows how to do it better. How? By effectively converting the only clear opportunity he had into a goal. In the 84th minute, the forward converted a pass from Frenkie de Jong into a goal, after the Dutchman received the ball on the right side of the area and sent a cross to the heart of it, where the '18' was waiting. With a powerful left-footed shot, the ball found the back of the net, eluding Leo Román's attempt to stop it.

Pau Víctor's statements after Barcelona's victory against RCD Mallorca

That was Pau Víctor's most outstanding performance against RCD Mallorca, a brief period of time that the forward maximized. Now, the Sant Cugat del Vallés native did not miss the opportunity to express his positive feelings about his performance to 'Esport3' microphones after the match. "I'm very confident, I feel good physically. The minutes that the coach gives me, I will always be there to make the most of them, whether it's one minute or 90," the '18' commented.

Furthermore, Pau Víctor praised Robert Lewandowski, with whom he competes for the center forward position, seeing him as a role model to perfect himself as a goal scorer in the box. "When you have the best striker in the world as your competition, it's difficult to get playing time, but I try to learn a lot from him every day and make the most of the opportunities I'm given," he emphasized.

Finally, Pau Víctor also had the chance to talk about the management of the dressing room being carried out by Hansi Flick, expressing his satisfaction with how the German coach is handling the team. "It's a great virtue he has, I think he is a very, very good coach, and he has us all at 100%. It's sometimes not entirely easy because those who don't play are sometimes more upset or find it harder to stay focused, but this is a very united dressing room, where we all move as one and want to contribute in any way we can," he concluded.
