That rapture was overwhelmed in the 79th moment when Salva Sevilla's delightful set-piece conveyance was kneed in by Mallorca captain Antonio Raillo to set up an extremely apprehensive last stretch.
Less a few antiquated purses as things warmed up on the baize-like Camp Nou pitch, there was little energy in the excess minutes as the hosts dealt with the game and saw out a 2-1 triumph to recover second spot.
