The 2025-26 edition of La Liga features its first set of matches this weekend as Mallorca lock horns with Hansi Flick's Barcelona side in a crucial encounter at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.

Mallorca vs Barcelona Preview

Mallorca finished in 10th place in the La Liga standings last season and have been inconsistent over the past year. The home side eased past Hamburger SV by a comfortable 2-0 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Barcelona, on the other hand, finished at the top of the league table last season and have been in exceptional form under Hansi Flick. The Catalan giants thrashed Como 5-0 to win the Joan Gamper Trophy in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this weekend.

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
