I just saw Real Madrid's "elite" team get held to a 1-1 draw in their first La Liga game. A few weeks ago, everyone was so sure that this Madrid team will destroy any and all teams that go against them especially in the champions league but here we have a tier 3 team giving them a run for their money. If Mallorca can give them some heat, I'm pretty sure teams in the UCL will do much more. Let's hope it's not a case of Deja vu remembering that Messi + Mbappe + Neymar couldn't shake teams the way we expected them to. We'll know in the next few weeks.
I don't even believe the final result of the Mallorca vs Real Madrid match because if you compare the strength of the two teams, of course Real Madrid is very strong but they failed to secure full points in today's match. I saw the struggle of Ancelotti's men in this match because they managed to play quite well because they were able to dominate 67% of ball possession and shoot 13 times.
However, this did not make them successful in stealing points in the away match because the hosts were able to play well in the second half. One red card also decorated this match because Mendy had to leave the field in the final minutes of the match. I saw the look on Mbappe's face who was so frustrated in this match because he failed to show his best quality to score a goal in his first match this season.
