Manuel Morlanes got free and moved through to score before half-time and give the home side the lead.

Substitute Éder Militão headed in an equaliser on 88 minutes, but it was Mallorca who got an injury-time winner as Vedat Muriqi found himself free at the far post and smashed his effort into the roof of the net past a helpless Andriy Lunin. Three answers 1. How much focus would be on Bayern Munich?

With a clash with the German champions kicking off 75 hours after the final whistle here, Álvaro Arbeloa had some tough calls to make. The decision to rest Vinícius Júnior, who had been in the United States with Brazil on international duty, and not gamble on the fitness of Jude Bellingham, tied in with that. Intriguingly, Arbeloa also opted not to feature Thiago Pitarch, instead giving minutes to Manuel Ángel, making his first start for the first team.

However, the result meant that the rotations were short-lived, with Bellingham, Vinícius and Thiago all needed off the bench, and the ones coming off to be those who were struggling, the likes of Ángel, Brahim Díaz, or a once again disappointing Eduardo Camavinga, rather than some of those who Arbeloa may have wanted to give some rest, like Mbappé, who played his first 90 minutes since February 21st. 2. How many players would we see up their returns from injury?
