Stoppage for FC Barcelona. A few days after showing character to overthrow Celta Vigo in less than ten minutes to win at the wire and secure their fourth victory of the season in La Liga, Barça had a less happy ending against Mallorca ( 2-2). Weighed down by several defensive errors, the Catalan club was only able to bring home a small point from the Balearic Islands.
If the reigning Spanish champion remains at the top of the ranking and undefeated since the start of the current year (5 wins, 2 draws), Catalan coach Xavi banged his fist on the table when approaching the insufficient performance by Barça in front of the press. As such, the defensive sector has not been spared. “Because of our mistakes, we didn’t win today. We had chances but there were two obvious and glaring errors. Such inappropriate errors cannot happen again. We have to improve. Last year, solidarity gave us a lot of strength. Today we weren’t bad but we lost two points.”regretted the Spanish technician.
