Honestly, last night was something else. Real Madrid looked like they might drop points against Mallorca, but then out of nowhere, they snatched a 2-1 win right at the very end. It was one of those games where you’re sitting on the edge of your seat, not sure if Madrid would hold on or not. This win means their hopes of winning the LaLiga title are still alive, which is huge because things looked shaky for a while.
Tough Start, but Mbappé and a Youngster Save the Day
Mallorca shocked everyone early by scoring in just the 11th minute, thanks to a sloppy moment from Madrid’s defense. The crowd at the Bernabéu got really quiet, and you could tell everyone was worried. Madrid tried to fight back for a long time but couldn’t break through. Then Mbappé showed why he’s so important — he made an amazing run and scored his 40th goal this season to tie things up. But the real surprise was Jacobo Ramón, a 20-year-old who scored his first-ever senior goal in the 95th minute. Can you imagine? First goal, last minute, and it wins the game. The stadium went wild, and honestly, he looked a bit stunned too.
Madrid’s Injury Crisis and What It Means for the Title Race
Here’s the tough part — Madrid are seriously short on players right now. They only had 11 senior players ready to play, and even their backup goalkeeper had to start because the main keeper got ruled out last minute. They had like eight academy kids on the bench, which shows how deep their injury problems are. Because of this win, they’re now four points behind Barcelona, but Barca still has a game in hand. If Barcelona wins their next game, they clinch the title. So Madrid really need Barca to slip up to keep their chances alive. For now, though, this win keeps fans hopeful and the title race interesting.
