On a night when Barcelona were without their 14 players due to Covid-19 infections, injuries, and suspensions, the Catalans stole a 1-0 win over Mallorca in a La Liga game.

Barca striker Luuk de Jong's brilliant header just before half-time gave his team a 1-0 lead.

Barcelona had the game under their control until the dying minutes when Mallorca began pressing for an equaliser and came close to achieving it.

But Barca's goalkeeper saved his team with an incredible stop and denied Mallorca an equaliser in the stoppage time.
