The FC Barcelona recovered the second position in Spanish LaLiga thanks to a 2-1 victory at the Camp Nou over Mallorca (16th), this Sunday on matchday 34, in which Real Madrid was mathematically proclaimed champion on Saturday.
Barça had lost the three previous games who had played in his stadium. One was in the Europa League (3-2) against Eintracht Frankfurt, against whom Xavi Hernández’s men were eliminated, and the next two were 1-0 in the League, against Cádiz and Rayo Vallecano.
After a goal disallowed against the Uruguayan Ronald Araújo for offside, reviewed by the VAR, Barcelona was able to open the scoring in the 25th, with an accurate shot in the area by the Dutchman Memphis Depay, who had received a long pass from Jordi Alba.
Shortly after, Gerard Hammered was changedabout half an hour into the game, with physical problems.
In the second half, Sergio Busquets extended the account of his in 53, with a cross shot in the area.
Ferran Torres was annulled for offside a goal in minute 74 and in minute 79 he shortened for Mallorca Antonio Raíllo.
Beyond the result the match was marked by Ansu Fati’s entry into play in the 75th minute, who was applauded on his comeback, in a season that has largely been out due to injury. He had not played since January 20.
In the classification, Barcelona adds 66 points and takes an important step towards the subchampionship and towards the next Champions League.
The azulgrana team now has two points more than Sevilla (3rd), that on Friday he had stumbled with a 1-1 draw against Cádiz (17th), and five ahead of Atlético de Madrid (4th), who on Saturday lost 2-0 in Bilbao against Athletic (8th).
Regarding Betis (5th), which is the first team outside the ‘Champions zone’, Barça now distances itself with nine more pointswaiting for that Andalusian team, recent champion of the Copa del Rey, to visit Getafe on Monday (15th).
– Falcao returns with a goal –
In another of the highlights of the day, Colombian Radamel Falcao allowed Rayo Vallecano (11th) to tie 1-1 at home with Real Sociedad (6th).
The ‘Tiger’, who reappeared after two months without playingindirectly helped his former team Atlético de Madrid, which is in fourth place, the last one that qualifies in Spain for the next Champions League.
Real Sociedad could have placed fifth in the event of a victory in the Madrid neighborhood of Vallecas and come within three points of Atlético. After the tie, they are sixth and five units from the ‘Champions zone’.
Falcao entered the game to play the last quarter of an hour and it didn’t take him long to score, in minute 77, when he came to reject a ball after a shot by Álvaro García that goalkeeper Álex Remiro touched and sent to the post.
Rayo, who had just won 1-0 at the Camp Nou last Sunday, thus balanced a game in which the Basques had gone ahead in 33 thanks to the Norwegian Alexander Sorloth.
In the other two games on Sunday there was also a 1-1 draw, both in Elche-Osasuna as in Granada-Celta.
Granada (18th) is still in relegation places, to one of the salvation zone. He got the point from him against Celta (12th) with a goal in the final stoppage from Luis Milla (90 + 2).
Elche (13th), which was losing until Pere Milla (82) was able to equalize against the Navarrese, keep taking steps towards permanence with the point achieved against Osasuna (9th).
Saturday, Real Madrid was proclaimed champion of Spain for the 35th time in its history, defeating Espanyol 4-0 (14th) at the Santiago Bernabéu.
