Real Madrid Grab Last-Gasp Win Over Mallorca to Stay in LaLiga Title Hunt
Real Madrid pulled off a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over RCD Mallorca on Tuesday night, thanks to a last-minute goal by a rising young star. The result keeps their LaLiga title hopes alive and delays Barcelona’s chances of sealing the trophy — for now.
Mallorca Take a Shock Lead
It didn’t start well for the home side. Mallorca grabbed an early goal in the 11th minute through defender Martin Valjent, who took advantage of a defensive slip by Madrid. The early goal stunned the Santiago Bernabéu and gave Mallorca something to defend.
Mbappé Levels the Score
As the match went on, Madrid pushed for a response. And in the 68th minute, Kylian Mbappé stepped up with a brilliant solo goal to bring things level. That strike marked his 40th goal of the season — yet another big moment in a standout year for the French forward.
Young Hero Wins It in Stoppage Time
Just when it looked like the match might end in a draw, 20-year-old academy graduate Jacobo Ramón stepped up in the 95th minute with a composed finish. It was his first-ever goal for the senior team — and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The Bernabéu erupted as Real Madrid snatched all three points at the death.
Madrid’s Injury Crisis
Real Madrid were missing several key players due to injuries and suspensions. Only 11 first-team players were available for this match, and backup goalkeeper Fran González had to start after Andriy Lunin was ruled out late due to a hand injury. Eight academy players were included on the bench — a clear sign of how stretched the squad has become.
What This Means for the Title Race
With this win, Madrid are now just four points behind leaders Barcelona. However, Barcelona still have a game in hand and can win the league if they beat Espanyol on Thursday. Still, Madrid’s dramatic win puts the pressure back on their rivals and keeps the title race alive — at least for a few more days.
