Real Madrid leaves LaLiga up in the air

Real Madrid has suffered a very hard blow in their title race after losing 2-1 against RCD Mallorca in an absolutely chaotic end to the match. The defeat could have direct consequences in the fight for LaLiga.

The white team dominated for much of the game but once again showed a worrying lack of effectiveness. The punishment was severe in the final minutes when the match slipped away dramatically.

Real Madrid dominates, but RCD Mallorca strikes first

Real Madrid started the game with the intention of imposing their rhythm. Possession was clearly in their favor, with more passes, greater accuracy, and a stronger presence in the opponent's half.

However, RCD Mallorca held on. Despite having less possession and creating fewer chances, the home team was much more effective in their attacks, capitalizing on each defensive error from Real Madrid.

The difference lay in the penalty areas. While Real Madrid attempted without clarity, RCD Mallorca waited patiently and with tactical discipline for their moment.

Real Madrid reacts late and pays dearly for their mistakes

The script seemed set until Real Madrid found the equalizer in the 88th minute. Éder Militao appeared at a crucial moment to give hope to his team when all seemed lost.

That goal changed the pace of the game. Real Madrid pushed for victory, believing they could turn the game around in the final moments.

However, the momentum was short-lived. In the 91st minute, RCD Mallorca struck again. Muriqi seized a decisive opportunity to score the definitive 2-1 goal and unleash madness at Son Moix.

A finish that leaves Real Madrid very affected

The outcome left Real Madrid deeply affected, both mentally and in terms of the standings. Going from a draw in the 88th minute to a defeat in the 91st is a heavy blow.

The team showed fragility at crucial moments. The lack of concentration in the final minutes once again proved costly, as seen in other parts of the season.

On the contrary, RCD Mallorca showed character and seized their opportunity. They knew how to suffer and strike at the right moment to secure three valuable points.

Real Madrid, on the ropes in LaLiga
