Ferran Torres and Fermín López were selected against Mallorca. But next weekend, it could very well be Marcus Rashford and Dani Olmo. Even Robert Lewandowski isn’t a lock when he returns. Healthy, internal competition, could be the formula that propels Barca to success over the course of the long campaign ahead of them.

Barcelona left no room for doubt in their LaLiga 2025-2026 debut by defeating Mallorca 3-0 at Son Moix. The match was packed with excitement and decisive moments, but it was the young Lamine Yamal who stole the show with a stunning goal in stoppage time.

The second red card in the 39th came from Mallorca striker Vedat Muriqi hitting the head of Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia with his left foot while reaching up for a high ball. The referee changed the card from yellow to red after a video review. Yamal made it 3-0 in second half stoppage time by hitting the top corner.
