Barcelona ended a run of three consecutive home defeats by beating relegation-threatened Mallorca 2-1 in La Liga on Sunday evening.Goals in either half from Memphis Depay and Sergio Busquets were enough for the Blaugrana to return to second-place in the table, nine points clear of fifth-placed Real Betis.Fans of the Catalonian giants have heaped praise on Depay, with the 28-year-old putting in a mesmerizing display which was capped off by a superb goal. The forward got onto the end of a long ball from Jordi Alba before expertly finishing on the half-volley to put Barcelona ahead in the 25th minute.FC Barcelona@FCBarcelonaFULL TIME! #BarçaMallorca77861008FULL TIME! #BarçaMallorca https://t.co/kIuMU4sQHPIt has been a difficult debut season at the Camp Nou for the Dutch international since his arrival from Lyon on a free transfer last summer. He has started less than half of Barca's top-flight matches across the campaign.Depay has predominantly been used as a left-winger under new manager Xavi Hernandez, and has netted 11 times in 33 appearances for the club.Barca fans took to Twitter to express their appreciation for the former Manchester United forward following his excellent performance against Mallorca. Depay was even compared to former Blaugrana winger Neymar:ᴜᴛʜᴍᴀɴғᴄʙ✍︎@UthmanFCBVery impressive play today and brilliant left wing performance...This is Memphis 🦁 #BarçaMallorca101Very impressive play today and brilliant left wing performance...This is Memphis 👉🦁👈 #BarçaMallorca https://t.co/EdeCdnxa4OBarça Universal@BarcaUniversalSurvey: What do you think about Memphis Depay's performance today?4267Survey: What do you think about Memphis Depay's performance today? https://t.co/luGTqAMLc2zinx@zinxfcb@BarcaUniversal Class maybe we should consider keeping him3@BarcaUniversal Class maybe we should consider keeping himLED (Main Account Suspended)@im_Amphibian@BarcaUniversal Neymar vibes14@BarcaUniversal Neymar vibesBeksFCB@Joshua_UbekuIf it was Dembélé, that Depay goal would’ve been seen on top of one catholic church’s roof in Rome.1312126If it was Dembélé, that Depay goal would’ve been seen on top of one catholic church’s roof in Rome.kay 💧@KayPoissonOneMemphis Depay When I say he is world class, They don’t understand Just look at the finish62072Memphis Depay When I say he is world class, They don’t understand Just look at the finishBarcelona forward linked with Premier League moveExpectations were high for Depay upon his arrival, but it's fair to say he has so far failed to live up to the hype.He had only signed a two-year contract at Camp Nou on arrival in 2021. With Barca desperate for funds this summer to improve their squad, speculation has built that the Dutchman may be moving on this summer.In April, it was reported by Superdeporte that Premier League trio Newcastle United, Arsenal and Everton have all expressed an interest in offering Depay a chance to return to English football.Depay signed for Manchester United in 2015, but failed to settle in at Old Trafford, scoring just seven times in 55 Red Devils appearances. He was sold to Lyon 18 months after his arrival at Old Trafford.@FCB_NewsFR vidéos 🎥@FCBNewsFR_mediaMEMPHIS DEPAY !! 🦁 Jordi Alba #BarçaMallorca41647MEMPHIS DEPAY !! 🦁⚽️ Jordi Alba 🎯 #BarçaMallorca https://t.co/mUrONKAN3p
