According to reports, Dani Olmo has once again shined in a decisive moment. The 26-year-old, who returned to Barcelona’s starting lineup against Mallorca, scored a goal that secured three valuable points for his team. The attacking midfielder has scored 10 goals this season: 9 in La Liga (one every 111 minutes) and 1 in the UEFA Champions League. Additionally, he has provided 5 assists in La Liga, 1 in the Champions League, and 2 in the Copa del Rey.

But his goal against Mallorca was not his only decisive strike in La Liga. His first goal this season against Rayo Vallecano, which was very similar to Tuesday’s goal, also earned Barcelona three points. In that match, Olmo came on as a substitute and scored the winning goal (1-2). He also played a key role in Barcelona’s 3-1 home win over Espanyol by scoring twice.

In 2025, all of Olmo’s La Liga goals have been decisive. He scored the opening goal in the 2-0 win over Las Palmas, netted the second against Osasuna to secure a 3-0 victory, and after returning from an injury that kept him out for three league matches, he was decisive again. Against Celta Vigo, he started Barcelona’s comeback with a goal in the 2-3 win and won the penalty that led to the 4-3 victory. Against Mallorca, his goal sealed a 1-0 win.

In fact, 7 of Olmo’s 9 goals have directly contributed to Barcelona earning points—a player whose signing was initially problematic for Barcelona, with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez playing a key role in resolving the issue. Ironically, the player Perez helped secure is now pushing Real Madrid further away from the La Liga title.
