Hansi Flick's superb first season as Barcelona boss saw him guide the Catalan giants to a domestic double as well as a strong showing in the Champions League, where they reached the semifinals. Unsurprisingly, the Blaugrana come into the new campaign as favorites to clinch back-to-back titles, and have made some shrewd additions to their squad, with goalkeeper Joan Garcia joining alongside loan star Marcus Rashford and quicksilver winger Roony Bardghji.
Meanwhile, Mallorca come into the new season as a strong bet for European qualification, having narrowly missed out on the top eight last term. Head coach Jagoba Arrasate has boosted his attacking options with the addition of Pablo Torre, who looks set to face his former club today following his $5million move to the Los Bermellones last month.
