FC Barcelona managed to stay top of La Liga on Tuesday night after drawing a four-goal thriller 2-2 away at RCD RCD Mallorca.

The Catalans were on a high after their 3-2 comeback win over Celta Vigo on Saturday.

Once more, however, they twice fell behind to supposedly inferior opposition with the hosts striking early on eight minutes through Vedat Muriqi.

A Raphinha who for a change was allowed to play the full duration of the tie replied with a stunning foot strike approaching half time.

In stoppage time of the first half, though, Adbon Prats sneaked past Ronald Araujo and managed to get a foot on the ball to slide it past a grounded Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Barca labored to equalize again, with Joao Felix hitting the post on 55 minutes with a shot from far out.

Shortly after, a rarely-benched Robert Lewandowski entered the fray as did Lamine Yamal.

On his first break of note, 16-year-old Lamine Yamal seemed to have won a penalty when falling in the box. A VAR review saw the decision overturned, and this was probably the right decision with replays showing that there was a little contact with the winger's foot

A quarter of an hour from full time, a slick move from the visitors resulted in Barca tying the proceedings.

Lamine Yamal found Raphinha running into the area, and the Brazilian made sure he finished his evening with a goal and assist by setting up Fermin Lopez.

Lewandowski cleverly left the ball by dummying it for one of the breakout stars of the summer on the Blaugrana's preseason tour of the US.

With Barca failing to find a minute through seven minutes of added time, Barca went home with a point and managed to keep their lead in La Liga by a single point over Catalan neighbours Girona who play Villarreal on Wednesday.

Barca will have an eye on what that match plus what Real Madrid do against Las Palmas before they themselves return to the pitch to take on Sevilla at home.
