Barcelona look to remain atop the La Liga table as they travel to Real Mallorca for a road league match in the Spanish top flight on Tuesday.
The Catalan giants are level on points with early surprises Girona at the summit of the standings, ahead just barely on goal differential (they haven’t yet played each other so head-to-head can’t yet be used as a tiebreaker). Real Madrid loom just a single point back, so Barca must collect the maximum if they are to ensure they remain clear.
Mallorca are on the opposite end of the table, sitting 16th with five points through the first six matches of the season. They are just a single point above the drop zone, and while it’s too early to be looking below in the table, early warning signs are evident.
Robert Lewandowski is also himself at the top of an individual chart, level with Jude Bellingham and Alvaro Morata at the head of the league goalscoring list. Both have five goals each, but Lewandowski’s three assists have him clear on the tiebreaker.
