Barcelona Extends La Liga Lead With Key Wins

Barcelona extended their lead at the top of La Liga to seven points over Real Madrid after beating Mallorca 1-0 and staging a 4-3 comeback win over Celta Vigo. Dani Olmo scored the decisive goal against Mallorca as Barcelona rested key players ahead of the Copa del Rey final, while Mallorca's goalkeeper Leo Román made several crucial saves. In the earlier Celta Vigo match, Barcelona overturned a 3-1 deficit, with Raphinha scoring a stoppage-time penalty and contributing a goal and an assist, while Olmo also scored off the bench. Raphinha has now surpassed 50 combined goals and assists in the season, joining the ranks of Messi, Neymar, and Suárez. The team now faces concerns over Robert Lewandowski's fitness after he suffered an injury late in the Mallorca match. These results strengthen Barcelona's position in the title race with five games left.
