Mallorca Vs Barcelona, LaLiga: Raphinha's Brace Helps Blaugrana Thrash Los Bermellones
Raphinha was instrumental in Barcelona's decisive victory over Mallorca, ending a three-game winless streak. He scored twice in the second half, allowing Barcelona to move four points clear of Real Madrid in La Liga. Raphinha netted a penalty in the 56th minute after Lamine Yamal was fouled, then added another goal 18 minutes later with a brilliant assist from Yamal. Frenkie De Jong and Pau Victor rounded out the scoring with two quick goals, showcasing a strong comeback after Barcelona's recent defeat. Ferran Torres opened the scoring in the 12th minute following a defensive mistake by Mallorca, while Vedat Muriqi equalized just before halftime. Barcelona's next match is against Real Betis on Saturday, while Mallorca will play Celta Vigo.
