Barça Stay Top After 3-0 Rout of Mallorca as Marc Bernal Opens Account

Barcelona, 8 February 2026 – FC Barcelona tightened their grip on first place in La Liga with a commanding 3-0 victory over RCD Mallorca at Spotify Camp Nou. Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal and teenage midfielder Marc Bernal found the net, the latter celebrating the first senior goal of his career in front of an ecstatic crowd.

Lewandowski’s opener, his 114th strike in three-and-a-half seasons at the club, lifted the Polish striker level with club legend Estanislau Basosa and into the top 15 of Barcelona’s all-time scorers list. Yamal doubled the advantage before half-time, and the 18-year-old Bernal sealed the win late on, capping a memorable night for La Masia graduates.

Manager Hansi Flick, fielding a youthful bench, handed an official debut to 20-year-old defender Tommy Marqués in the closing stages, further underlining the academy’s growing influence on the first team. “La Masia is how we do things,” Flick told reporters after the final whistle, praising the academy pipeline that continues to feed talent to the senior squad.

The comprehensive win keeps Barcelona unbeaten at the summit of the table and extends their lead ahead of a congested chasing pack. Off the pitch, the club released updated financial figures showing record revenues and a continued fall in debt, reinforcing the sense that the Blaugrana are regaining stability on and off the field.

Barcelona now turn their attention to mid-week fixtures, buoyed by another dominant display and the emergence of the next generation of Camp Nou stars.
