Barcelona returned to winning form in La Liga with a commanding 5-1 victory over Mallorca, breaking a three-game winless streak.

Frenkie de Jong and Pau Víctor also added goals in the latter stages of the match. The win extends Barcelona's lead over Real Madrid to four points in the standings, although Madrid has two games in hand.
