A well fought out win for Madrid as they came back from a goal down their usual performance to beat mallorca by 2:1 at home I didn't know why madrid always start a game on not winning to play like they wants to win until concede a goal before attempting to win and this was one of their problems this season as for me the laliga title is over so winning the remaining matches will be nice to end the season on a good note but I was not impressed by their fist half performance
Ancelotti fielded a very different lineup than usual, mostly made up of second string players. I think that factor has caused them to struggle to win, even Madrid fell behind early in the first half. Madrid attack intensity only increased in the second half, and Los Blancos dramatically managed to turn things around at the end of the match. Mallorca almost managed to take home a point, but they lost focus towards the end of the match. The additional three points no longer increase Madrid chances of winning the trophy, the victory only postponed Barcelona party, because Hansi Flick team only needed one more win to secure the La Liga trophy.
I was surprised at what I saw the Madrid side play against a team that's not good to be in the top flight, honestly Madrid was lucky, if it were Betis or Alaves or let's say Valencia, the story would have been different because the chances Mallorca threw away was too much to give them the win and the couldn't hang on the ball for 10secs and Madrid could not score more than the 2 goals we saw them get in that game. Ancelotti can't coordinate the team like he used to maybe because his mind is no longer at the club and he couldn't wait to start a different journey so I'd say Madrid was lucky tonight.
