Barcelona began the 2025–26 La Liga season with a win, and Raphinha matched a Ronaldinho milestone that not even Neymar managed to reach. This Saturday, Barcelona kicked off the 2025–26 La Liga season with a dominant 3–0 win over Mallorca.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick was unimpressed with how the Spanish champions took their foot off the gas in an opening 3-0 win at nine-man Mallorca.

Reigning LaLiga holders Barcelona opened their title defence with a 3-0 victory over Mallorca at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, making it eight consecutive away wins and extending the Pirates manager Jagoba Arrasate’s personal streak of losses against the Catalans to nine matches.

As Morey received the ball close to the touchline, Raphinha lunged into a wild tackle on him that left the Mallorca defender writhing around on the floor in agony. The Barcelona forward was shown a yellow card for the challenge and it's left fans outraged on social media, with some claiming the tackle was a potential 'career-ender'.

Barcelona have issued an update on Brazilian winger Raphinha's injury following the win against Sevilla on Friday.

Flick is heading into his second season at Barca with an exciting team with plenty of quality. But how do they set up tactically?
