    Time:90'
    • FC Barcelona
    • RCD Mallorca
    • 90+3 That's the whistle, Barca stay top and Mallorca's away woe continues. Stay tuned though - Atletico v Real in the Madrid derby is up right now!!
    • 90+2 Mallorca pull one back! It's little Al Keita with a crisp low finish past Valdes into the left after good work from Castro cutting inside.
    • 90' Valdes is forced to save low from Ramis who got forward.
    • 89' Three minutes added time being played.
    • 87' Messi to take the penalty and he sends Aouate left and the ball right, nestling in the bottom corner for 4-1.
    • 86' Ibra gets in on the left again and his quick feet take him past Marti who brings him down and it's a penalty.
    • 85' Brilliant one-touch passing play from Barca, this is lovely as Messi cuts inside and tries the shot, it's blocked but drops to Ibra who clips it over the keeper and lobs the cross in and INIESTA WITH A BICYCLE KICK but over!
    • 84' Ibra gets in again on the left but his cross is blocked by Nunes sliding in, surely a penalty as it hit his raised arm but a corner.
    • 83' Iniesta slides Ibra through on the left and he's away and drives a low shot past Aouate but into the side netting at the near post!
    • 82' BARCA SUB: Iniesta on for Henry.
    • 81' MALLORCA SUB: Webo off for Victor.
    • 80' Abidal with a great ball forward to Ibra but just beyond the Swede.
    • 77' Cute play by Messi and Ibra and Keita could be in but he slips and Aoute races out to claim. The ball-juggling from Ibra there was outrageous.
    • 76' Keita's okay, just a touch shaken. Play resumes.
    • 75' Keita is down holding his head, he got a boot in it from Castro as the Uruguayan tried to shoot.
    • 74' Keita buzzes around the Barca defence, forcing a mistake, now Marti and Castro could be in but Abidal clears.
    • 73' Alhassane Keita is getting ready to come on for Mallorca: no relation. Suarez makes way.
    • 72' Suarez and Toure collide in the middle of the park after they robbed each other of the ball in quick succession.
    • 71' Castro whips in a really good ball after Puyol makes a pig's ear of trying to play the ball out, but Webo can't make contact and Valdes claims.
    • 69' Barca knocking it around with some confidence in midfield.
    • 68' Borja down the left crosses in, Webo slips and Pique nods it back to Valdes.
    • 67' Free-kick to Mallorca on the right of the D, 20 yards out, very dangerous... Marti takes but he sends it well over. A waste.
    • 66' Barca don't complete the clearance though, playing into trouble as first Borja puts it in, then Webo is sent in and a free-kick is awarded with Keita booked for some reason. High boot on Castro.
    • 65' Free-kick to Mallorca which Borja will take but Barca clear.
    • 63' Keita does well to hold off two challenges on the left but his ball through to Messi is intercepted.
    • 61' Barca totally in control but they can't let their guard slip, Webo has some pace and Chygrynskiy looks a bit uneasy at times.
    • 60' BARCA SUB: Xavi comes on now as the big-guns get a run out.
    • 59' Free-kick to Barca on the right... Swung over by Messi and it's a super delivery that IBRA RISES TO FLICK LIGHTLY BUT INCHES WIDE!
    • 58' Great touch from Messi to Keita but Aouate rushes out to clear.
    • 57' Toure will take the free-kick he earned and, while on target, it's straight down Aouate's throat. Webo is played through down the other end but he is correctly called offside.
    • 56' Mazy dribble from Toure and Suarez clips him, free-kick 30 yards from the Mallorca goal.
    • 55' Messi on the right clips a lovely ball in for Ibra but he is offside, having tried to hold the line. That was an error - he was onside, about half a yard.
    • 54' Abidal juggles the ball with his head and nods it out for a throw.
    • 53' Chygrynskiy with an error and Webo could be in but good defending from Toure to sweep up. Chygrynskiy looks dodgy and has done for a few games.
    • 52' Barca attack now and Keita is brought down clumsily by Varela.
    • 51' Late there on Puyol from Tuni, free-kick.
    • 50' BARCA SUB: Why is he taking Pedro off? Messi is on now, but the lad was on a hat-trick and had no apparent fitness problem.
    • 49' This Barca free-kick is around 35 yards out but Ibra wants to shoot, which is the wrong option and, sure enough he hammers it 10 yards over.
    • 48' Martis goes down Pedro's ankle, free-kick, nasty one that could have been a card.
    • 47' Mallorca have a free-kick over 30 yards out, Marti pumps it in and it drops to Ramis far post who heads it across for Nunes and Mallorca could be in but the flag is up for offside.
    • 46' Leo Messi is warming up on the sidelines, enjoying his rest. Not sure they'll need him but it seems he will come on soon-ish, possibly for Henry.
    • 46' Second half underway in the Camp Nou!!
    • 45+1 Marti sends a free-kick down the left, Ramis is on to it but his cross is headed behind for a corner. Or not, the whistle goes for half-time, Barca lead 3-1.
    • 45' One minute added time being played...
    • 44' Barca come down the right now as they threaten to over-run Mallorca but cleared this time.
    • 43' Pedro swings the free-kick to the far post and it evades everyone AND IN FLIES BUSQUETS AT THE FAR POST WITH THE FREE HEADER BUT ACROSS GOAL AND HENRY STOOPS TO HEAD IT IN AHEAD OF IBRA! He needed that goal, and Barca are cruising. Great run from deep by Busquets, and Henry gobbled it up even though Ibra was best placed.
    • 42' Varela is booked for protesting after Diaz fouled on the left.
    • 41' Where were Aouate's defenders? Why did no-one clear? They just stood there ball watching, expecting it to go in, he made three world-class saves but was let down by his team-mates. Poor Aouate, he looks like he might cry.
    • 40' Barcelona on the offensive as the ball is swung far post AND PEDRO WITH THE BRILLIANT VOLLEY BUT AN AMAZING SAVE FROM AOUATE! It drops to Henry who must score but another incredible stop, and surely Busquets but he blocks it again! But oh nooo, Pedro rifles in the fourth effort for 2-0!
    • 39' Busquets almost plays Puyol in but Ayoze comes across to clear to touch.
    • 38' Pedro with some neat skill to take on Ayoze but the Mallorca stopper gets outside him to put out for a throw.
    • 36' Abidal almost slides the ball through to Ibra but intercepted and Josemi launches a counter through Webo on the right. Barca win it back though. Cat and mouse this is.
    • 35' Barca continue to hog the ball but Mallorca are quite well organised at the back today and rebuff their advances.
    • 34' Henry inside to Busquets, who finds Puyol on the right wing, decent cross but Auoate plucks it out of the air ahead of Henry.
    • 33' Ibra and Keita combine but the final ball is just behind Henry and Pedro. Still with Barcelona though!
    • 32' Marti swings the corner to the far edge of the box AND BORJA WITH THE VOLLEY BUT OVER! Great effort straight from the training ground.
    • 31' Marti slowly trots over to the left for this one...
    • 30' Marti again with the corner and Webo flies in but Keita manages to head it over for another one. Good pressure from Mallorca.
    • 29' Mallorca come forward again, Morela into Webo who holds it up for Suarez with the rising drive, deflected off Toure and over!
    • 27' A spell of Barca pressure culminates in Toure smashing it well over from distance.
    • 26' Pedro wins a free-kick in the middle of the park, first Marti then Suarez sliding in.
    • 25' The corner causes problems for Mallorca, with Auoate barely punching clear, but they survive for now.
    • 24' Ibra and Henry link up with the latter winning a corner.
    • 22' Barcelona are reeling from that but still bossing the ball...
    • 20' The corner is swung in from the right and shocking marking from Barca as Puyol misses the header and Nunes stoops to head into the bottom left! Mallorca level and playground defending from Barca!
    • 19' Mallorca counter, Marti strides forward and slides it through to Webo WHO IS CLEAN THROUGH AND MUST SCORE BUT A BRILLIANT SAVE FROM VALDES! He tipped the low finish just around the post!
    • 18' Barca come forward again, they cut through Mallorca's defence like a knife through butter as Henry drills it low from the left for Pedro at the far post but Aouate just gets a palm on it.
    • 17' Webo holds the ball up for Marti who has a crack but well over.
    • 16' Ibra bustles towards goal, he beats one man Nunes, then tries to drag it around Josemi who blocks him off but no penalty! At best that would have been an obstruction but I reckon nothing in it, Josemi was trying to hook a leg around the ball and Ibra just ran into him.
    • 15' Pedro is almost played in again but out for a throw to Barca on the right.
    • 14' Barca are dominating here, Mallorca not getting a sniff of the ball.
    • 13' Barca could be in again as it's played through to Ibra on the edge of the box, he backheels it to KEITA WITH THE DRIVE THAT AOUATE SPILLS but he pounces just before Pedro gets there!
    • 11' That is Pedro's seventh goal of the season, fantastic return for the youngster who has netted in an incredible FIVE different competitions. Henry was offside by the way, but he was walking back and was not interfering.
    • 10' The hosts counter, up with Ibra on the edge of the D, two defenders around him and he swivels and plays a delighftul backheel that sends Pedro clean through and he slots it into the bottom left for 1-0! Wonderful skill from Ibra.
    • 8' Decent pressure from Mallorca but unable to break down Barca's backline.
    • 6' Barca break and Pedro could be in here but his control lets him down.
    • 5 Tuni goes down very easily on the edge of the Barca box, nothing given.
    • 3' Henry tries to step over Keita's low centre but it's easy for the Mallorca defence, who are in front of Ibra.
    • 2' Cagey start in this opening minute, Barcelona holding the ball but giving away a free-kick, Toure with the foul. No Xavi, Iniesta or Messi in the starting XI. Boo.
    • 1' Match underway at the Camp Nou!!

  2. all right, so fc barcelona fans want catalan­ independence from spain, but if they get it like they­ want, do you honestly think fc barcelona would still­ play in la liga? nooooo, but im sure theyd still be a­ good team in the newly formed catalonian football liga.­ Maybe a little less sponsors as the ONLY rival would be­ espanyol, and maybe a little less rivalry as theyd have­ to be playing their reserve team in the league, so go­ ahead you dumb barca fans. have your own ccountry and­ good luck performing in europe :)
