Raphinha nets brace, Lamine Yamal stars and inspires Barcelona to a first win in four La Liga outings, beating Mallorca 5-1.

Ferran Torres scored after Mallorca made a defensive blunder, although he missed numerous further chances.

Muriqi equalised just before halftime with a well-timed run. Yamal was pulled down in the area in the second half, prompting the referee to give a penalty that Raphinha converted.

Then Lamine Yamal sent an excellent outside-foot cross to assist Raphinha’s second goal. A few minutes later, Yamal’s cross was deflected, allowing Frenkie de Jong to score. Frenkie de Jong helped Pau Victor secure a 5-1 victory at the end of the encounter.
