He Barça I was uncomfortable against Mallorca at the start. They dominated the game, but the best chances had been from the Balearic team, who were doing damage thanks to their speed. Jan Virgili. But before half an hour Robert Lewandowskiwho wore the captain’s armband against the Vermilion rival, put his nerves aside to open the scoring.
Just before half an hour of play, Marcus Rashford, who had already warned with a shot from the front, insisted again with the same formula, but this time his shot was blocked by David López. The ball was loose in the area and Lewandowski picked it up and did not forgive, opening the scoring with the first goal of the game. The situation of the Barça ‘9’ was legal after being reviewed by the VAR.
It was the Polish striker’s tenth goal in the League, adding to his thirteen so far this season as he had also scored a goal in the Copa del Rey Mapfre and another couple in the Champions League.
And if the Pole opened the scoring, an unexpected protagonist closed it. Marc Bernal He made his debut as a scorer with the Barça shirt with a goal as a pure striker at the Spotify Camp Nou and in front of his fans. The Berga midfielder came on in the second half and had about 25 minutes to continue gaining pace in this process after suffering a serious injury that kept him out for a year last season.

Fermin Lopez he threw the assistance into space and Bernal He started pulling power and leaving his markers behind. He entered the area controlling the ball, cut back with an exquisite ankle turn to Maffeo, who over-braked, and shot at the goal looking for the long post. Mascarell tried to save the goal but all he did was deflect the ball so that it entered the short post. Injection of morale for a midfielder who maintains the usual arrival.
