12:24am, 16 May 2025Football

The 36th round of La Liga was staged in the early morning of May 15. Real Madrid beat Mallorca 2-1 at home, postponing the championship process of the Spanish national derby rival Barcelona. Real Madrid superstar Mbappe scored his 40th goal of the season, leading the La Liga scorer list with 28 goals.

If Real Madrid is tied by Mallorca in this game, they will be 6 points behind Barcelona if Barcelona has not played this round. Since the La Liga teams are given priority to the direct confrontation between the two points, the winners and losses are determined. Barcelona defeated Real Madrid twice at home and away this season in La Liga, and Barcelona will win the championship ahead of schedule with three rounds of games left.

The Brazilian Football Association officially announced that Real Madrid coach Ancelotti will become Brazil's new coach on May 26, which will have an impact on the focus of Real Madrid's entire team. Real Madrid is currently full of wounded soldiers, and 11 players, including Brazilian twin stars Vinicius and Rodrigo, are absent due to injuries, and can play a guest midfielder Joan Armeni, who is suspended from the game. Ancelotti had no choice but to arrange for Real Madrid's second-team central defender Jacob Ramon to start and form a central defender with Asensio, who has been promoted to the second-team for a short time. It was Ramon, who was only 20 years old, who saved Real Madrid. He scored a final goal in the 5th minute of injury time throughout the game, helping Real Madrid score 3 points in a thrilling manner.

In the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals on January 10 this year, last season's La Liga champion Real Madrid defeated last season's Spanish Cup runner-up Mallorca 3-0, one of which came from Mallorca's own goal by central defender Valente. When the two sides confronted each other again, Varent's goal in the 11th minute helped Mallorca take the lead early. Real Madrid then started the crazy offensive mode, but the offensive efficiency was extremely low. Real Madrid led 39-4 in shooting, 13-2 in shooting, and 26-0 in corner kicks. Perhaps because Ancelotti is about to leave the team, Real Madrid coaching staff does not have a good design in corner kicks. Although Real Madrid has many corner kicks, it poses little threat. Mbappe used his personal ability to tie the score in the 68th minute and scored his sixth goal in the last three rounds of La Liga. Unfortunately, most of the other players in Real Madrid are not in shape. In the last moment of injury time, Real Madrid won a corner kick again, and even goalkeeper Courtois rushed to the opponent's penalty area to compete for a header, but unfortunately this corner kick was still not very threatening. Courtois could only run back desperately. In order to avoid Mallorca's fast attack, Real Madrid left-back Garcia took the opportunity to drive the ball to the frontcourt. This long pass that accidentally hit created a final kill. The central defender Vallejo, who came on the bench, headed the ball and Ramon volleyed into the net.

Mallorca goalkeeper Roman was like a "cheating" and made 11 saves throughout the game. After the game, Ramon, the hero of Real Madrid's final score, said: "Mallorca is an excellent team. We have many shots, but the opponent's goalkeeper's performance is incredible. Fortunately, we won in the end. I scored the final score in the first start of the first team, and there is no better way to score."
