Lamine Yamal’s return to the pitch brought smiles back to Barcelona but hurt Mallorca a lot. The Spanish talent turned the opposition’s defense upside down, first by causing a penalty and then providing a sumptuous assist for Raphinha. He also caused, obviously without intending it, a violent altercation between two opponents following the action that led to the penalty which effectively ended the game at the start of the second half.
Johan Mojicaa former Atalanta player, knocked out the Blaugrana winger, launched deep by Dani Olmo. The Colombian’s intervention was logically sanctioned; after being booked, he took his anger out on the midfielder Manu Morlanesblatantly accusing him of being co-responsible for the episode.
Morlanes said something to Mojica before the latter lost his temper and walked towards him threateningly, resting his head on his face. A scene that escaped the eyes of referee Gil Manzano, who should have warned – and then subsequently expelled – Mojica according to the regulations.
