Streaming Details for Mallorca vs. Barcelona
As the start of the La Liga season approaches, Barcelona faces familiar hurdles with registering new players for their season opener against Mallorca. Despite the club’s optimism about registering new signings like Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford, complications persist with having seven players unregistered as the kickoff date nears.
Manager Hansi Flick reflects on the situation:
“This is the situation, it’s not something I’m happy about, but I trust the club. The same thing happened last season. We have to focus on what we can do. As for the rest, I trust the club.”
Translation: “Es la situación, no es algo que me haga feliz, pero confío en el club. Lo mismo sucedió la temporada pasada. Debemos enfocarnos en lo que podemos hacer. En cuanto al resto, confío en el club.”

With the ability to register Garcia as a replacement for the injured Marc Andre ter Stegen, the club is hopeful for Rashford as well despite the complexity surrounding his registration. The sale of Trincao’s rights has increased Barcelona’s salary limit, aiming to help ease these registration issues that have previously affected players like Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.
Changes to La Liga’s salary regulations could ease the path toward registration. Joan Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, remains confident, although the upcoming season poses greater pressure and expectations for Flick and the team.
The key challenge remains maintaining consistency, particularly now that Ronald Araujo is healthy and young players like Pau Cubarsi grow in experience. The focus is on balancing competition and depth as Barcelona steps into the new campaign after last season’s impressive goal tally.
