Scorers: Lamine Yamal 73′
It was a slow start from Barcelona but they were bailed out by a poor challenge on Raphina in the Mallorca penalty-area, forcing the referee to award the hosts a spot-kick.
The subsequent attempt was missed by İlkay Gündoğan to spare the Mallorca blushes.
After the visitors spurned a few golden opportunity, one of which rang the crossbar, Barcelona took advantage and snatched the lead through a moment of magic.
With three points needed, up stepped teenager Lamine Yamal to send a superb curler into the corner of the net to set the home crowd alight.
The win sees Xavi’s side move to within five points of league leaders Real Madrid, who do have a game in hand over their chasers.
