Barcelona climbed to second in La Liga after teenage winger Lamine Yamal’s superb late winner gave them a 1-0 victory at home to Mallorca.
The visitors looked set to frustrate Barca, for whom Ilkay Gundogan had a 24th-minute penalty saved.
Yamal, 16, then struck the crossbar early in the second half but curled in a fine effort from just inside the box.
Barca are now within five points of leaders Real Madrid, who host Celta Vigo on Sunday.
They are eight matches unbeaten in all competitions, a run which has put them two points above Girona before they host Osasuna on Saturday.
Barca, whose coach Xavi was serving a touchline suspension, made a positive start before winger Raphinha was clipped in the box by defender Jose Manuel Copete.
It was a sixth goal of the season for Lamal, who became Barca and Spain’s youngest goalscorer earlier in the season, and his first since scoring twice in the 3-3 draw at home to Granada last month.
