Olmo strikes as Barca extend Spanish League lead with win over Mallorca

Barcelona inched closer to the La Liga title with a 1-0 win over Mallorca on Tuesday which took them seven points clear of Real Madrid.

Spain international Dani Olmo slotted home to help Barca turn up the heat on second-placed champions Real.

Hansi Flick’s side, aiming for a potential quadruple, outplayed the visitors but could not extend their lead at the Olympic stadium as goalkeeper Leo Roman made save after save.

With Saturday's Copa del Rey (Kings Cup) final against rivals Real Madrid in mind, Flick rested several of his usual starters.

The coach handed former teenage prodigy Ansu Fati his first start since October and deployed Hector Fort on the left of the defence, with Ferran Torres up front in place of injured top scorer Robert Lewandowski. “We had a good game, the whole team, there were a lot of rotations today with players who hadn't played for a while and I'm really happy for them,” Gavi told Movistar.

“Their goalkeeper had a great game, we had so many chances but that’s football, they're not going to make it easy.”
