Mallorca Vs Barcelona: HALF-TIME: Messi Goal Difference Between The Two Sides
But for the last 15 minutes of the half, Iniesta and Messi finally found their feet and began to run Mallorca ragged. Messi wasted a galring chance but showed a cool head minutes later to nod over a hesitant Aouate after Keitas pass had taken out the whole Mallorca defence. At the back Barcelona look far too comfortable with Abidal and Pique having little to do. Mallorca have had just the one opportunity with Webo heading over from close range, so it will be interesting to see of Michael Laufrup switches formation to give the Cameroon striker a bit of support in attack.
