Defending Spanish champion Real Madrid had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Mallorca in its La Liga season opener.
In Kylian Mbappé’s league debut, Real survived a sluggish start to take the lead through Rodrygo’s wonderful, curled effort after 13 minutes, latching onto Vinícius Jr.’s backheel. But Vedat Muriqi’s thumping header from Dani Rodríguez’s corner leveled the score seven minutes into the second half. Both sides had chances to win the match in the closing stages, but neither was able to find the crucial winning goal.
“We struggled defensively, we struggled to win the ball back and to press after losing the ball. We have to improve on that. When we talk about the defensive performance, we’re talking above all about attitude and collective commitment. “When we regain the ball, we all have to think about it as a team. It’s a problem for the forwards and the defense. It’s a team problem, and in this match, they didn’t understand that this was a very important factor.
