Pre-match review Mallorca vs Barcelona

Coach Hansi Flick and his team's journey to defend the La Liga title will begin with a trip to Mallorca's Son Moix stadium. Barcelona had a very successful 2024/2025 season with 3 domestic titles. They continue to be rated by experts as the brightest candidate for the Spanish National Championship in the 2025/2026 season. Under the reign of coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona caused nightmares for the entire tournament when scoring more than 100 goals.

The Catalans have been preparing for the new season this summer with four crushing wins in friendly matches. Barcelona have made three additions in the transfer window, two of whom have shown their ability, striker Rashford and goalkeeper Joan Garcia. They are expected to add depth to Barcelona's already-quality squad.

In the match against Mallorca, coach Hansi Flick will likely use the strongest lineup to show his strength to the whole tournament. This is the favorite "prey" of the Catalan team, Barcelona often wins with a large margin. In the last 15 confrontations in La Liga, Mallorca has lost 14 matches. The last time the home team at Son Moix beat Barcelona was 16 years ago. It seems that Mallorca's chance to create a shock on the opening day is almost impossible.

Mallorca will need luck and a disciplined, tight defense to stop Barcelona's formidable attack. However, it will be a difficult task, many teams failed to contain Barcelona's strikers last season. Yamal or Raphinha are ready to perform beautiful "Dances" on the opening day to bring 3 points for Barcelona.
