Très Divertissant Score Futmetrix: 78/100. Barcelona's superiority was so complete that playing with two fewer men barely altered the inevitable rout.
Suffocating dominance from the opening whistle

Raphinha broke the deadlock in the 7th minute off a surgical assist from Lamine Yamal, who would emerge as the night's true architect. With 24 shots to Mallorca's 4, Barcelona turned the pitch into a relentless shooting gallery.
Disciplinary chaos that sealed the fate

Down to nine men before halftime, Mallorca was condemned. F. Torres extended the lead in the 23rd, and Lamine Yamal put the seal on victory in the 90th with Gavi's assist—the substitute proving his worth after entering at 69 minutes.
