Dani Olmo has scored early in the second half as Barcelona defeated Mallorca 1-0 to increase their lead in Spain's La Liga. The home win gave the Catalan club a seven-point advantage over Real Madrid, who visit Getafe on Wednesday. Barcelona, seeking a first league title since 2023, have five league games left. Barca coach Hansi Flick made several changes to his starting line-up, with forward Ansu Fati making his first league start in nearly six months. Striker Robert Lewandowski was absent because of a muscle injury. Olmo's winner came a minute into the second half at Montjuic stadium, with the playmaker finding the net from inside the area. It was the third consecutive victory for Barcelona in the league. The hosts had 40 attempts on goal, while Mallorca had only four — none on target. "We created many scoring opportunities and we should have taken advantage of them, but that's soccer," Barcelona midfielder Gavi said. "We can't always score easily. We insisted until we finally scored and that's what's important. "I'm happy for the players who rotated and got to play." Mallorca, who have only two wins from their last nine matches, stayed in seventh place. Barcelona and Madrid will meet in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday in Seville. Earlier on Tuesday night, Espanyol's three-game winning streak ended with a 1-1 draw at Valencia, who have drawn two in a row after three straight victories. The result left both teams tied on 39 points, though 13th-placed Espanyol have a game in hand.
