90′ +3
And that's it! A comfortable win for Barca in the end, and they will stay on top of the league, regardless of other results...next up, it's Atletico v Real Madrid!
 
90′ +2
GOOOOOOOOLLLLL!!! KEITA! Too little too late, but Alhassane Keita does well to finish calmly into the bottom corner, after Castro had set him up in the box. Only a consolation...4-2!
 
90′ +1
Goal Alhassane Keita
 
90′ +1
Decent effort from Ramis, who heads towards goal, but Valdes gets down well to save and force another corner...
 
90′
Three minutes of added time for Mallorca to endure...
 
87′
GOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!! MESSI!!! Stops and starts during the run-up, before calmly slotting into the bottom right hand corner! 4-1, and game over!
 
87′
Penalty Goal Lionel Messi
 
86′
And now Barca have their penalty...Brilliant counter from Messi, who jinked past half the team before releasing Ibra, who was then taken down by Valera...no doubts about that one.
 
85′
Brilliant run from Messi, the ball eventually drops to Ibrahimovic, who plays it back across, but the Argentine's attempted scissor-kick flies over the bar...
 
84′
Nunes is very lucky to get away with that, he slid down in the box and the ball clearly struck his hand...should have been a penalty.
 
83′
Iniesta releases Ibra down the left, but his shot from a tight angle hits the side netting...
 
82′
Substitution Pierre Achile Webó Ví­ctor
 
82′
Substitution Thierry Henry Andrés Iniesta Luján
 
81′
Andres Iniesta now makes his entrance for Henry, while Victor replaces Webo...
 
78′
Some party tricks & flicks coming out now for Barca...a Mallorca goal would really cause some nerves, but that looks unlikely...
 
75′
If Barca can hold on to this result, it will really put the pressure on Real Madrid ahead of their derby against Atleti, as the gap will be 4 points...
 
72′
Substitution Mario Suárez Alhassane Keita
 
72′
Manzano is going for it now, as he brings Alhassane Keita on for Mario Surez...
 
70′
Mallorca are starting to push forward a little more now, but they still don't look like threatening Valdes...
 
67′
Wasted free-kick from Marti, as he smashes it high & wide from just outside the box...
 
66′
Yellow Card Seydou Keita
 
64′
Barca look comfortable with this lead, as Mallorca do not appear to have the goods to pull two back...
 
63′
Substitution Sergio Busquets Burgos Xavi
 
61′
Xavi comes on to replace Busquets, becoming Barca's second most capped player in the process, equaling Charly Rexach on 328...
 
61′
Substitution Antoni Adrover Colom Chory Castro
 
58′
So close Ibrahimovic! Messi floats a free-kick in from the right, Ibra heads it on and everyone thought it was in, but it goes the wrong side of the post...
 
56′
Decent free-kick from range by Toure, but Aouate gets behind the low shot and holds on to the ball.
 
53′
Mallorca are finding it hard to cause any more problems up front, and their worries have been compounded by the introduction of Messi, who is already attracting plenty of attention...
 
51′
Substitution Pedro Lionel Messi
 
50′
Interesting change here, as Pedro is taken off for Messi...Guardiola is taking nothing for granted.
 
48′
Awful free-kick from range by Ibrahimovic, as it just flies onwards and upwards...
 
46′
And we're back! Pep Guardiola will be hoping that his side can increase their lead, so that he can leave his stars on the bench...
 
 
And that's half-time! It's been the Pedro show, as he scored the first two and played a large hand in the third...Barca lead 3-1, but can Mallorca find a way back? Find out in about 15 minutes...
 
43′
GOOOOOOOOOLLLLLL!!! HENRY BREAKS HIS DUCK!!! Pedro is involved again as he floats a free-kick to the far post, Busquets heads it back across goal, and Henry dives onto it to head home! 3-1!
 
42′
Goal Thierry Henry
 
41′
Yellow Card Fernando Varela
 
40′
GOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!!! PEDRO GETS HIS SECOND! Pinball in the box, but the young forward eventually smashes it into the net! His initial shot was saved by Aouate, who then stopped rebounds from Henry and Busquets...before Pedro smashed it against Ramis and into the goal! 2-1!
 
39′
Goal Pedro
 
37′
Pique is having a bit of a nightmare tonight, as he misplaces yet another pass...
 
34′
Xavi's influence is clearly being missed here, as the home side struggle to link their defence to attack...
 
32′
Yellow Card Borja Valero Iglesias
 
31′
Nunes looks to increase his tally from another corner, but his volley is off-target...
 
27′
Yaya Toure does well to win the ball in midfield, but his long shot is tame and floats up into the stands...
 
25′
That goal appears to have deflated Barca's spirits, as they struggle to create further openings...
 
22′
Pique will have to take some of the blame for that goal, as he was wrong-footed for the through ball that lead to the corner...
 
19′
GOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!!! NUNES!!! Mallorca equalize from the corner! It evades everyone and finds Nunes at the far post, and his header is too good for a sprawling Valdes! 1-1!
 
19′
Goal Nunes
 
18′
What a save from Valdes! Webo is played through and looked odds on to score, but the keeper gets a finger to it and tips it behind for a corner!
 
17′
First shot from Mallorca, it comes from Marti from just outside the box, but it flies into the stands...
 
15′
Mallorca will have to open up now, which should play into Barca's hands...the home side look more confident now, and are threatenig further goals...
 
12′
Ibra is in the mood here, he breaks free down the left and lays it up for Henry, his shot is fumbled by Aouate, but the keeper recovers to stop Pedro from tapping in the second...
 
10′
GOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL!!! PEDRO!!! WHAT A PASS FROM IBRAHIMOVIC! Receiving the ball on the edge of the box, the Swede plays an unbelievable backheel through the defence, which Pedro latches onto and slots home! A definite contender for assist of the season...1-0!
 
10′
Goal Pedro
 
7′
The Blaugrana are just looking a little off the pace so far, they've yet to test Dudu Aouate in Mallorca's goal...
 
4′
Barca have had all of the ball so far, but are yet to create anything...it will be interesting to see how they cope with so much creativity left on the bench...
 
1′
And we're off! Dani Alves, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi all start on the bench, as Pep Guardiola looks to give them some rest ahead of a busy few weeks...
 
 
Hello and welcome to Goal.com's LIVE coverage of Barcelona vs Mallorca! The Blaugrana will be hoping to extend their lead at the top, ahead of Real Madrid's tough trip to Atleti. Kick-off in about 15 minutes...
