“It’s difficult to take, not winning. It’s going to be hard for me to sleep," Xavi Hernandez, the Barcelona manager, said as he reacted to their draw with Sevilla.
"I think we should have won. Sevilla are very experienced and very good tactically, but I leave here unsatisfied. But tomorrow I’ll look back and think we played well.
"The performance, from the bench, I think was very good. I think this is the Barcelona people want. The results tell all, but I think we enjoyed some good moments and the team competed very well.”
The last meeting between Mallorca and Barcelona in a league match was on 13 June 2020.
Barcelona secured a comfortable 4-0 win over Mallorca in a match that was played at the Visit Mallorca Estadi.
