Barcelona swung back to winning ways yesterday as they secured a comprehensive 5-1 victory against RCD Mallorca.
Returning star Lamine Yamal was the main talking point of the game, as his brilliant performance completely dismantled the Mallorca defence.
Yamal, though, was perhaps a bit lucky as well, especially given the way he was easily awarded a penalty early into the second half.
Vinicius surprised by referee’s double standards
The way Barcelona were awarded a penalty did not go too well with Vinicius Junior, reports Defensa Central.
As per the report, the Real Madrid forward was bemused with the ‘double standards’ shown by the referees during the Barcelona-Mallorca clash.
Vinicius was particularly crossed with the easy penalty awarded to Yamal. He believes Real Madrid players, especially him, would not have been awarded a penalty so easily.

Thus, he laments at what he believes was clear double standards shown by the referees present in the game.
Despite the questionable decision, though, Real Madrid players must not lose focus and must set their sights on the task at hand.
Following Barcelona’s emphatic win, it will be imperative for Los Blancos to secure a win in their upcoming league contest against Athletic Club later this evening.
Failing to secure a win could allow Barcelona to once again solidify their position at the top of the league table.
With Vinicius missing in action, the onus will once again be on new signing Kylian Mbappe, as he looks to capitalise on his performance against Getafe last time out.
