The Blaugranas arrive in Son Moix as new leaders of the standings and with two important defeats in the middle of the field.
FC Barcelona visits Mallorca for the seventh day of LaLiga 2023-24, as new leaders of the standings after the victory over Celta de Vigo and the subsequent fall to Real Madrid in the derby against Atlético.
The Blaugrana team has just completed an epic comeback against the Galicians, who led 2-0 in Montjuic until the 80th minute and saw their victory slip away thanks to Robert Lewandowski’s double and Joao Cancelo’s painful goal.
On the other hand, Barça will face a Mallorcan team that suffered a heavy 5-3 defeat to Girona last Saturday and had three defeats in six appearances, in a complicated start to the competition.
GOAL discusses the likely lineups for the match, which will be played next Tuesday, September 26 at 9:30 PM.
