Barcelona has yet to lose in La Liga this year, but on Tuesday night, Mallorca held them to a 2-2 draw at Son Moix, snapping their six-game winning streak.
Vedat Muriqi and Abdon Prats gave the hosts two leads, but Raphinha and Fermin Lopez, who scored his first competitive goal for the first squad, helped Barcelona tie the scores on both occasions.
Barcelona had a terrible evening, and head coach Xavi Hernandez told the media after the game that his team ought to have won. Over the course of the 90 minutes, he believed his team made far too many mistakes.
Xavi has good reason to be upset. A defensive blunder led to Mallorca’s first goal, and Prats finished off a long pass for their second.Barcelona will try to recover as soon as possible. On Friday, they play Sevilla at the Olympic Stadium, although the Andalusians will be very confident after their great victory on Tuesday.
