This time there was no… happy ending: Barcelona “stuck” in Majorca!

“Stop” in its winning streak of five games in La Liga – in most matches of which it “hit” in the final – received Barcelona.

The Catalans did not perform well and “stuck” (2-2) at the headquarters of the extraordinary Majorcain the context of the impressive (7th) matchday, knowing the second loss this season (after the away 0-0 with Getafe for the premiere).

Thus, they climbed alone first with 17 points, but they risk their… overtake if Girona (16 points, away from Villarreal) or Real Madrid (15 points, inside Las Palmas) win, who have a game less. On the other hand, the hosts reached six points, remaining unbeaten for the fourth game this year.

Mallorca took the lead twice, with “Barca” equalizing both times. Goals and assists from Muriki and Refinerieswith the young man Fermin Lopez to come on as a substitute in the 64th minute and equalize for Barcelona in the 75th minute, shaping the final score as well. In fact, this was the “maiden” goal of the 20-year-old central midfielder with the first team of the “Blaugrana”, in his third participation. He started from the bench Lewandowskiwho entered the match in the 58th minute.

The match:

Ugly face for Barcelona at the start of the match. Xavi’s side came in sluggishly, with the hosts taking the early attacking initiatives. In fact, they were lucky to find nets, just in 8′! In a phase that started from his wrong removal Ter Stegen and which evolved into.. lasting, with the Muriki to complete it by opening the score (1-0) with a spot kick.

Barcelona tried to show signs of reaction. She made her early moves and finally found the equalizer in the 41′with the very nice drift shot caught outside the area by Refineries.

Despite this, the “Blaugrana” not only failed to capitalize on their momentum, but saw Mallorca score a second goal before the end of the first half and even with the development of a few seconds from one goal to the other. Specifically, in the third minute of delays the goalkeeper of the Balearic Islands team Predrag Rajkovicfilled to the brim, o Muriki he caught a header backwards putting him in a four-a-four position Pratswho poked the ball in for 2-1.

The second half started with Barcelona closing in on Mallorca, without really threatening them. In the 66′ Ruith awarded a penalty to his claim Cut by Yamal. A decision, however, that he took back when he examined the phase in VARconsidering that the young winger had already started to fall (there was, if only slight, contact between the legs of the two players).

Yamal had entered the pitch in the 65th minute with him Fermin Lopezwhile from the 58th minute Lewandowski had entered as well.

The second one, therefore, was the one who made it 2-2 at 75′after a nice movement by the visitors, with a pass by Yamal to Rafinia, a turn by the latter and a one-piece execution by Lopes between the penalty area and a small area.

Barcelona increased their pressure in the final minutes, but were unable to create any chances. On the contrary, she risked more by raising her lines high. Even then he did not manage to avoid going astray.
