Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick was without the services of injured striker Robert Lewandowski, while he also chose to rest Raphinha ahead of this weekend’s Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid.

In terms of individual records, Pedri created his own in another MVP performance. As reported by Carrusel Deportivo’s Fermin Suarez, the 22-year-old midfielder recorded 18 recoveries against Mallorca, which bettered his tally of 17 from the comeback victory against Celta Vigo on Saturday.
