Real Mallorca coach Jagoba Arrasate says he expects a difficult game against Barcelona ahead of Tuesday’s La Liga clash.
Hansi Flick’s side remain top of the La Liga table, but they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Las Palmas on Saturday, while Mallorca will enter the intriguing contest off the back of a 2-1 home success over Valencia.
In a chat with TribalFootball, Arrasate stated that Barca will be at their best against his team.
“I expect Barça to be at their best. It’s true that they have one point out of nine in La Liga, although they won in the Champions League last week. What wasn’t normal was the start they had, winning all their games comfortably.

“It’s not unusual to have a run of two or three games without a win. They’re probably a bit more urgent and that’s why I expect Barça to be at their best. To get a good result they’ll have to be close to perfection.”
“They defend in a very particular way because they defend forward and leave a lot of space behind. It’s difficult to find a passing line because they press so well.
“If you’re able to find that pass, you have space to conquer, but this is something that is easier to see than to execute.”
