Barcelona 3-0 Mallorca: Player ratings as Barca cruise to La Liga win

La Blaugrana hit the front almost immediately from kick-off thanks to Ansu Fati. A wonderful bit of interplay between Sergio Busquets, Robert Lewandowski and Gavi culmintated in the latter unselfishly squaring to Fati, who tapped home into an empty net in the 40th second.

Things went from bad to worse in the 14th minute for Mallorca when Amath Ndiaye received a straight red for a wild slide tackle on Alejandro Balde. The challenge was so bad in fact that, before half-time, Barca confirmed that the young full-back had suffered a partial tear of the collateral ligament in his right ankle and would be out for up to seven weeks.

10 minutes later, Barca were able to make their one-man advantage count by doubling their lead through Fati. The youngster bagged his brace with a side-footed effort from the left of the penalty area after being cleverly played through by Lewa. In the second half the home side continued to thoroughly dominate proceedings, seeing an Ousmane Dembele effort be cleared off the line and a Lewandowski free kick canon off the crossbar before Gavi eventually made it 3-0. The teenager brilliantly fired into the top corner from just outside the box to bag his second La Liga goal of the season.
