(La Liga:)
(Barcelona – Mallorca)
(Date: 22nd April, 2026)
Another day, another matchday, another game.
For this game though, Hansi Flick finally made a big change, taking majority of his starting XI players out of the game.
Ferran Torres replaced Sam up top as the striker, while Dani Olmo took Lamine Yamal's position on the left wing. Raphinha was the sole starting XI forward who stayed in the lineup.
In the midfield, Pedri was taken off, replaced by Eric Garcia.
Alejandro Balde was also taken off in defense, Gerard Martin taking the position of the electric and enigmatic attacking left back.
As soon as the game started, once again, just like Celta Vigo, despite the fact that they were in the Spotify Camp Nou, Mallorca approached this game with the gutsy boldness to take a good result back home.
The reason for their confidence?
Simple. Hansi Flick's rotation.
Lining up in a 5-3-2 formation, this was a dynamic Mallorca side.
