Barcelona have the chance of replacing rivals Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table today. Xavi's side are just two points behind Real Madrid, ...

They're just keeping Mallorca inside their own half and waiting for any kind of opening. Dembele chases a ball deep into the Mallorca half. Twenty minutes to go and Barcelona still look good value for their lead. Sergi Roberto saw a low shot saved at one end, before Mallorca almost restored parity at the other seconds later. Franck Kessie fired wide before a well-worked passing routine from Barcelona was cleared inside the Mallorca six-yard box. In a game where Barcelona enjoyed large periods of possession, it was the home side that registered the better chances early on.

Barça have won each of the last nine meetings between the teams and are undefeated in the last 12. Xavi has kept his selection policy close to his chest but many observers feel that he may call upon Ansu Fati to head up the Barcelona attack along with Robert Lewandowski. After drawing a blank on the opening weekend of the campaign against Rayo Vallecano, the Polish striker has netted eight times in the last five LaLiga fixtures. A reminder of the teams for those just joining us tonight. A mild early October evening in the capital of the island with a pleasant 22C/73 F at kick off.

La Liga: Lewandowski strike earns Barcelona narrow win at Mallorca (Sportstar)

Marc-Andre ter Stegen kept a fifth consecutive clean sheet in the top-flight and, along with Lewandowski's brilliantly taken strike in the 20th minute ...

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.

Just as Bayern Munich would not have gone four games without a win recently, Barcelona would never have come away from the south coast with three points without his ability to strike unerringly and unstoppably from the edge of the box. If not they will suffer a similar defeat to the one at Bayern Munich and be facing being knocked out in the Champions League group stages. Improvement required - With two games against Inter Milan in the next 11 days followed by the Clasico, Barcelona will need to show a lot more to get three points out of any of those games.

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. Recent history has not been kind to Barcelona following the international break.

Liverpool can use Pep Lijnders weapon to flip Barcelona transfer ... (Liverpool.com)

Liverpool have hatched a fresh transfer strategy under Julian Ward, and assistant manager Pep Lijnders is about to play a significant role in executing it.

Eagles midfielder [Enzo Fernández](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/transfer-news/liverpool-transfer-criteria-klopp-thiago-24759522) [could well be next](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12684625/melissa-reddy-on-liverpools-midfield-issues-is-the-transfer-window-the-solution-or-something-else).

And maybe, at least when it comes to targets from Portugal, Barcelona and Real Madrid won't have it all their own way. But in the case of Neves, Liverpool may have a key card up their sleeve in the form of Lijnders.

836 days later, Barcelona are top of LaLiga! (AS English)

The Catalan side are tied on points with Real Madrid on 19 points but lead the table by virtue of a better goal difference.

The Catalan side are back at the top of the table almost two and a half years later, level on 19 points with Real Madrid, but lead the ranking by virtue of a superior goal difference, where they have a +18 difference compared to the +11 held by [Real Madrid](https://www.realmadrid.com/en). However, the following week, Barcelona drew (0-0) at the Sánchez Pizjuán, while Real Madrid recorded a controversial win at Anoeta (1-2) and the side from the capital topped the table with a better head to head having played both league games with Los Blancos going on to claim the title. The last time Barcelona were leaders was under Quique Setién and one has to go back to matchday 29 of the 2019/20 season, when the Catalan outfit had 64 points after beating Leganés 2-0, while Real Madrid were two points behind, 62, after beating Valencia (3-0).
