Valdes was again called into action in the last minute of the half, hurling himself across the goal to tip a Borja Valero free kick onto his left hand post, suffering a blow to his left shoulder in the process.

The Barcelona keeper was able to continue with no problem in the second half, but after 51 minutes Guardiola replaced Andres Iniesta with Messi. Iniesta looked to be struggling and could now be a doubt for next week’s Champions League quarter final away to Arsenal.

Mallorca soon replaced striker Victor with talented midfielder Julio Alvarez and the round of changes continued with Xavi returning to action at the expense of Toure Yaya.

Ibrahimovich scored for Barcelona after 62 minutes. The ball fell kindly for him after a corner and he had no problems smashing it past Aouate for his 15th goal of the season.

Aduriz had a goal ruled out for a clear offside five minutes later, but with Barcelona looking threatening Ibrahimovich again forced a save from Aouate.

Messi's appearance in the game coincided with his side's best football, although he should have finished better after a good run with just over five minutes remaining.

Mallorca pressed hard in the closing moments, but with Valdes looking secure they were unable to create any clear cut chances.
