FC Barcelona announce squad for La Liga match against Mallorca (Barca Blaugranes)

Barça Atlètic midfielder Marc Casadó is also called up to play right-back if necessary. The next Barcelona match is upon us! The international break was brutal for Barça, who were hit harder than any other top club by the “FIFA virus”. The match kicks off at 9pm CET (Barcelona), 8pm BST/WAT (UK & Nigeria), 3pm ET, 12pm PT (USA), 12.30am IST (India, Sunday), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action. There are good news as Sergi Roberto has recovered from a nagging injury that kept him out of the last two games before the break, and the Catalan returns to provide much needed cover at right-back. Ronald Araujo (groin), Jules Kounde (hamstring), Frenkie De Jong (hamstring) and Memphis Depay (hamstring) all miss out in this one, and Héctor Bellerín (calf) is also set for a spell on the sidelines after getting injured in training.

Three talking points ahead of RCD Mallorca vs Barcelona (Barca Universal)

Their first opponents after the break are Mallorca. Javier Aguirre's side currently sit tenth in the league standings with two wins and two draws in six games.

At this stage of the season, the margin for error is low and Barcelona cannot afford even a minor slip-up. The month of October is gruelling and crucial to the team’s campaign across all competitions. Except for a minor setback in the campaign opener, Xavi’s men have been dominant in all their games this season. He is not at a shortage of options as yet, but one more setback in the defensive department could hurt the team’s run. Sergi Roberto is also dealing with a minor issue but has been named in the squad list for the Mallorca clash. Staring ahead at the most congested month of the season, Xavi has a whopping five players injured and unavailable.

Pedri’s introduction from the bench brought some calm back to Barcelona’s game in the final 20 minutes and helped it keep the stubborn hosts at arm’s length in the final stages. The Poland forward, the division’s top goalscorer, netted his ninth league goal with a perfectly-placed, curling finish into the bottom-right corner, through a gap that only he could see. Xavi deployed young left-back Alejandro Balde out of position on the right side of his defence because of injuries to Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde and Hector Bellerin, and brought Ansu Fati into the starting line-up.

Mexico team manager, American Mark Laskin, acknowledged that he would have liked his riders to jump in Sunday’s final, “but this is a great consolation prize.” He praised the work of his team for improving on their results from the other day, “except for Manuel because it is difficult to improve on perfection.”

Three talking points from Barcelona's win over Mallorca (Playing for 90)

It wasn't the prettiest but a Robert Lewandowski wondergoal was enough for Barcelona to get a 1-0 win over Real Mallorca.

Out of the four defenders, Christensen had the best game of the bunch. The Polish striker turned something out of nothing to score the only goal of the game. Especially with the stretch of upcoming games. “It’s the first time I’ve played on the right side, but we have to be ready for all situations. However, this time around, Robert Lewandowski ensured his side got the three points thanks to a wondergoal in the 20th minute.

Lufthansa 747 Makes Cameo Appearance In Barcelona (Simple Flying)

Lufthansa operated its Frankfurt to Barcelona LH1134 on Friday with one of its 747-400s, but why?

[Frankfurt Airport](https://simpleflying.com/tag/frankfurt-airport/) (FRA) at 14:29 and arrived at [Barcelona El Prat Airport](https://simpleflying.com/tag/barcelona-airport/) (BCN) at 16:01. After returning from Barcelona on Friday night, the Jumbo was on the ground for less than 24 hours before heading to [Boston Logan Airport (BOS)](https://simpleflying.com/tag/boston-airport/) yesterday at 14:04. This leaves the mystery of why this short-haul was operated by a 747. [Flightradar 24.com](https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/lh1135) data soon kicked that idea into touch. So it must have been quite a pleasant surprise to regular passengers on the route when they saw a [Boeing 747](https://simpleflying.com/tag/boeing-747/) roll up for the flight. Since then, the 747 has operated almost daily services to most parts of the globe, including North and South America, India, the Middle East and Asia.

Three talking points from Mallorca 0-1 Barcelona (Barca Universal)

Taking all three points against Mallorca in a hard-fought encounter, Barcelona transiently return to the top of the table in La Liga.

Lewy gave his side the lead in the 20th minute with a piece of magic. Moving into a month where they play Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Inter Milan, amongst other strong teams, the manager will need his goalkeeper to be in the best possible state. Despite being deployed out of position, Balde, too, played a close to flawless game on the right side of the defence. Though the visitors had the lion’s share of possession, Aguirre’s side had more shots and big chances on the night. Having had his two most potent defenders injured during the international break, all eyes were on Xavi to see whom he deploys in central defence against Mallorca. In a month where they step onto the field eight times, it becomes altho more important for Barcelona to preserve their energy and grind out wins from difficult situations.
