🔴 Barcelona Secure 1-0 Win Over Mallorca, but Struggle to Break Through Leo Román
FC Barcelona claimed a narrow 1-0 win over RCD Mallorca on Matchday 33 of LaLiga. The Catalan side dominated the first half with a staggering 24 shots — a LaLiga record since the 2003/2004 season — yet failed to find the net (Cadena SER).
Mallorca goalkeeper Leo Román delivered an outstanding performance, denying multiple clear chances, including a double save from Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal (El País).
Barcelona’s only goal came early in the second half, scored by Dani Olmo, who capitalized on one of the rare defensive errors by Mallorca. Despite 78% possession, Barça only managed 6 shots on target out of 24, showing a clear lack of efficiency in front of goal.
These two matches highlight the importance of persistence, precision, and individual brilliance at the highest level. While Manchester City capitalized on their chances in dramatic fashion, Barcelona had to overcome an inspired goalkeeper to secure their win.
Leo Román, despite the loss, emerged as one of the standout performers of the night.
