Barca increase league lead
Dani Olmo scored early in the second half as Barcelona defeated Mallorca 1-0 to increase their Spanish league lead. The home win on Tuesday gave the Catalan club a seven-point lead over Real Madrid, who visit Getafe on Wednesday. Barcelona, seeking their first league title since 2023, have five league games left.
Olmo’s winner came a minute into the second half at Montjuic stadium, with the playmaker finding the net from inside the area.
It was the third consecutive victory for Barcelona in the league. The Catalan side had 40 attempts on goal, while Mallorca had only four — none on target. “We created many scoring opportunities and we should have taken advantage of them, but that’s soccer,” Barcelona midfielder Gavi said. “We can’t always score easily. We insisted until we finally scored and that’s what’s important.”
