The FC Barcelona squad visited Mallorca at Son Moix today with hopes of regaining momentum in LaLiga. The Blaugrana arrived at the match after three consecutive games without a win, a slump that has allowed Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid to close in on the race for the top spot.

Why Is Barça Playing Against Mallorca?

This match corresponds to Matchday 19, even though LaLiga has just passed Matchday 15. The adjusted schedule is due to the Supercopa de España, set to take place from January 8 to 12, 2025. Teams like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Athletic Club, and Mallorca will participate in the tournament, necessitating the early rescheduling of their league matches.

Matchday 19 Rescheduled Games
