Barcelona and Mallorca are rejoicing, Real Madrid fans are crying. Carlo Ancelotti’s charges sensationally failed to beat Mallorca, whose ground they lost due to an own goal.
Real Madrid started the season very promisingly, but the situation is turning around. Barcelona are in first place in the league and can increase their lead to a nice 8 points on Sunday night. The reason for this is the unexpected loss of an age-old rival.
Carlo Ancelotti’s charges played at Mallorca this afternoon. The latter have lost three of their last four competitive matches and despite the home environment should have been a clear underdog against Real Madrid.
But in the 13th minute, the shock came. A well-played standard situation got Nacho Fernandez in trouble, who headed the ball into his own net. It should be mentioned that the Real Madrid goal was not defended by Thibaut Courtois, but by Andriy Lunin.
The goal was originally credited to Muriqi, but is ultimately seen as an own goal.
Real Madrid then had a clear advantage throughout the game, but were extremely inaccurate in their finishing. Out of 20 shot attempts, only one went between the three posts. And that was from a penalty kick.
Marco Asensio took the penalty in the 59th minute, but goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic made a great save. The visitors’ frustration began to grow, as did the home team’s confidence and motivation.
Ancelotti has another reason to worry. In recent days, he has faced a lot of criticism. Real Madrid’s performances are not as good as they should be. There is also a long debate about the attractiveness of the game.
