It was the expected script, but reality never ceases to surprise. The match between Barcelona and Mallorca (1-0), corresponding to matchday 33 of LaLiga EA Sports 2024/25, was a clear example of offensive dominance by the culé team.
Hansi Flick's team made a total of 40 shots, while Mallorca barely managed 4 shots throughout the match. A Barça with many rotations against a Mallorca full of absentees and who has not won on Azulgrana ground for 17 years (1 draw and 10 defeats since then).
40 shots from Barcelona to 4 from Mallorca!
Barcelona shot 40 times, of which 12 were on goal. Mallorca's goalkeeper, Leo Román, was the protagonist by stopping 11. The Mallorcan team, despite its 4 total shots, did not get any between the three posts.
In the first half, Barça had already registered 24 shots, 8 of them on goal. The blaugrana team also dominated in other aspects: 78% possession, 13 corners in favor and 744 completed passes.
This record of 40 shots equals the record for shots in a LaLiga match, 40 by Real Madrid against Zaragoza in 2011.
Leo Román, a record performance
The Mallorcan goalkeeper left Montjuïc with a sublime performance, the goalkeeper made up to 11 saves. The highest amount in a single LaLiga match this season. He is followed by Joan García, the revelation goalkeeper of the championship, with 10 saves against Real Madrid and also 10 against Betis.
