Robert Lewandowski put his name in the record books again, scoring in Barcelona‘s 3-0 LaLiga victory over Mallorca on February 7, 2026. The goal extended his impressive streak, placing him alongside legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in an exclusive club for scoring in consecutive matches. Barcelona now sit four points clear at the top of the LaLiga table.
Barca Gets Job Done Despite Slow Start
The match at Spotify Camp Nou saw Barcelona secure a valuable three points, but it wasn’t a perfect performance. Lewandowski opened the scoring in the 29th minute, his 10th LaLiga goal this season from 18 appearances, after some sustained pressure. That strike got things going.
But the first half wasn’t great. Manager Hansi Flick wasn’t happy at all. He confronted his players at halftime, apparently using video clips to try and reset them. “I was not happy with the first half,” Flick said. “The players were not on our level, not dynamic, the play and passing was too slow. But, at the end, three more points, three goals and a clean sheet, so I have to say it’s a good day for us.”
Things picked up after the break. Lamine Yamal added a second goal in the second half, hitting it from about 30 yards out. Pretty good shot. Then, late in the game, 18-year-old midfielder Marc Bernal came off the bench and scored his first goal for Barcelona, which is a nice story after his ACL injury recovery. The team kept a clean sheet, which is always important.
Lewandowski Hits New Heights
Lewandowski’s goal wasn’t just another score. It marked a new milestone for the Polish striker. He’s now joined an elite group with Messi and Ronaldo, thanks to this extended goal streak. That’s some serious company to be in, isn’t it?
His goal brings his total for Barcelona to 114 in under four seasons, meaning he’s only three goals away from a significant club record. He’s a consistent scorer, no doubt about it. You can see why Goal.com highlighted this achievement. He just keeps advancing those records. He’s been really good since joining.
Youthful Spark and Depth Shine
While Lewandowski gets the headlines, the younger players are stepping up too. Lamine Yamal is on fire, you could say. He’s got six goals in his last seven games and 15 in 30 appearances this season. Both Yamal and Lewandowski have hit double figures in LaLiga goals this campaign, which is fantastic for Barcelona’s attack.
Bernal’s goal was a special moment, especially for an 18-year-old who’s been through an ACL injury. “I saw the space when Fermín [López] got the ball and ran into it,” Bernal explained. “I was going to shoot with my right foot, but decided to cut back and take it with the left. It took a deflection, but never mind, it was an incredible moment. It’s something you can hardly even imagine as a dream when you’re a kid.” That’s a good story for him. It shows good depth in the squad too.
Next Up: Copa del Rey Challenge
This win puts Barcelona four points ahead of Real Madrid in LaLiga, which is a comfortable lead for now. But there’s not much time to rest. The team’s next challenge is a big one: a Copa del Rey semifinal first leg against Atlético Madrid.
Flick isn’t expecting another slow start for that one. “I think against Atlético we will see another team from the first minute,” he said. “I wanted to see this today, but I played football and I know these things can happen when you have so many matches.” It’s going to be a tough game, but Barcelona seems to be in good form, even with the occasional sluggish first half. The title chase is on, and they’re looking good.
