In the first half, FC Barcelona dominated the possession but couldn't create any good chances in front of the goal. Barca had the first chance to score when Raphinha was brought down in the box in the 20th minute. The Brazilian was running in the box with the ball but seemed to get clipped in the back of his foot. VAR looked at the play and then gave a penalty for Barcelona when they saw contact on Raphinha's right ankle. Ilkay Gundogan took the penalty and shot, but Mallorca keeper Predrag Rajkovic saved it. The Serbian guessed the right save as he stopped the ball that was going to the right side.

Raphinha couldn't continue with that knock he received on his ankle, and he had to leave the pitch due to pain. Fermin Lopez replaced him in the 37th minute. In the second half, Barcelona created more chances. Lamine Yamal hit the crossbar in the 57th minute with a great shot with his left foot. Gundogan almost scored after a great one-two with Guiu in the 60th minute, but his shot was tame and easy to catch for Rajkovic.
