Ansu Fati surprise
–
Flick was without the injured Balde and Lewandowski, and decided to make several changes: defense revolutionized with the multipurpose Eric Garcia right -back with Kounde’s rest after 86 consecutive games, Araujo with Iñigo Martinez in the middle and Hector Fort on the left. Gavi backward and deployed for De Jong in the middle with Pedri, in front with Lamine Yamal there are Dani Olmo, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres with bench for Raphinha and Fermin. For Ansu Fati last night was the tenth seasonal appearance, and the second as a starter after that with the Seville of 20 October. A lot of Ansu Fati like Hector Fort and Ferran Torres had complained in the match against Celta on Saturday: the first two not to have entered, the third for the gearbox, excessively premature according to him. Flick crawled them at the press conference and then sent them to the field to demonstrate what they know how to do. They all went well, without exaggerating. In Majorca many absences, above all that of the ‘pirate’ Muriqi.
Nineteen shots
–
Unpublished defense and with full -backs out of position that of Barça, and immediately taken from the paste three times by the Majorca, intelligent in though Hector Fort’s initial deficiencies but inaccurate in the conclusion. The Barça took the measurements and the ball (80% of possession in the 45th minute) and started a bombing that brought to 19 catalani shots only in the first half, 9 in the mirror with the 25th Barça pole in this Liga, hit by Gavi. Serious errors of Ansu Fati and Araujo, great parades of Leo Roman, a reserve goalkeeper to the sixth presence in this Liga, the first of 2025, also helped by his companions who have stopped various conclusions, a couple destined at the bottom of the network. Accustomed to living on the offside the Barça, Mateu Morey (45 ‘) grossed, canceled for offside, the 33rd goal deleted for offer to Barça’s opponents this season.
The network

And after 42 seconds of the second half Dani Olmo caught in the middle of the area by Eric García with the first shot of Barça after the break opened the game with a precise accident from the right to the far post. For Dani Olmo, also on Saturday with the Celta, 9 goals in this Liga for him very trod between ailments and membership problems. Flick entered Raphinha and Fermoín for Ansu Fati and Dani Olmo with Barça in search of the goal of tranquility and a couple of concerns for Szczesny on two magnificent head shots of the Railillo plant on placed kicks, with the defense of Blaugrana not impeccable. Lamine Yamal had the ball of tranquility but wasted it for an excess of safety and for the umpteenth parade of the brilliant Leo Roman, which then repeated himself on Fermoín. Flick followed everything with tension, then off to the party: for Barça three fundamental points
