After various media reports that Barcelona hopes to transfer him this month, it is time to defend attacker De Jong. Since the transfer from Sevilla at the end of the season, he scored his second goal - his first goal in more than three months. He also hit the goalpost twice in the first half, once with an overhead kick, the Dutchman was the best player in Barcelona on Sunday. The goal came just before the break and he scored with a header from close range on a cross from Oscar Mingueza.
Barcelona dominated the game until Mallorca came under
pressure and almost equalized in the final minutes. Ter Stegen saved Barcelona
with an incredible handball-like right-arm reflex in overtime, denying that
Jaume Costa close-range shot looked like a clear goal.
"This is a historic victory for us, and I'm not
exaggerating," Harvey Xavi said. "This three-pointer is worth their
gold medal. The young players showed up and Ter Stegen stayed for many years
that we can win I'm very excited."
Earlier on Sunday, Getafe broke Real Madrid's unbeaten record
of 15 games with a 1-0 win in the capital Derby. Enes Unal scored the host's
winning goal in the ninth minute after grabbing the ball from Eder Militao and
beating Thibaut Courtois. Luuka Modric hit the crossbar and Eden Hazard and
Marcelo switched at halftime, but Getafe defeated a star-studded city opponent
for the first time since August 2012.

"This defeat cannot take away from us," said Ancelotti. After coming back from the winter break in La Liga, Ancelotti's team looked relaxed. "Excited about what's going to happen, we're still leaders. A player who usually excels in defence gave them their goal. There's nothing to say, it just seems like we thought we were on vacation."
Ending their worst defeat since Diego Simeone took over a
decade ago, Angel Correa scored twice and Atletico Madrid defeated Vallecano
2-0. Led by Simeone, the defending champions have lost no more than two games
in a row in the competition, but at the end of 2021, they lost successively to
Mallorca, Madrid, Sevilla and Granada. Atletico passed Rayo to recapture fourth
place, the last position to win a Champions League seat.
