By IANS News August 17, 2025 • 09:36 AM View: 219

Reigning La Liga: Reigning La Liga champion FC Barcelona began its title defense with a comfortable but controversial 3-0 win away to Mallorca

The game was as good as over by halftime after Raphinha put Barca ahead from a Lamine Yamal cross in the seventh minute and Fermin Lopez doubled the lead in the 23rd minute.

The Mallorca players were furious when play was allowed to continue after defender Antonio Raillo went down after clearing a cross into the area, with Lopez scoring as the defender remained on the floor, Xinhua reports.
