Barcelona defeats Mallorca with Rashford's debut

Barcelona secured a win over Mallorca in a La Liga match. Marcus Rashford played for about 25 minutes, replacing Ferran Torres in the front three. Despite looking a bit out of sync, it was expected as he adapts to new teammates and tactics. Rashford aims to start in the next game against Levante.

The second half resembled a training session, with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha posing threats from wide positions. Frenkie de Jong and Pedri controlled the midfield effortlessly. Mallorca, despite losing two players before halftime, kept running but offered less as the game progressed. Barcelona won without much effort, and Yamal's goal sealed the victory.

Mallorca fans remained vocal despite the team's slim chances. Rashford had a chance but lost possession. There were substitutions and saves from both teams. Barcelona dominated the game, with Raphinha missing a chance to score. Rashford made his competitive debut, with Barcelona winning a controversial match against a nine-man Mallorca.
