jpnn.com – MALLORCA – La Liga defending champions Real Madrid failed to win in the first week.
Visiting Mallorca’s headquarters at Mallorca Son Moix, Monday (19/8) early morning WIB, Madrid had to be satisfied with a 1-1 result.
The 2024 UEFA Super Cup champions took the lead through Rodrygo Goes’ goal in the 13th minute.
However, the hosts equalized in the 53rd minute through Vedat Muriqi’s header.
Real Madrid even had to finish the match with ten players after left-back Ferland Mendy received a red card in the 90+7 minute.
“We are a very attacking team, but the balance in defence is very important. We struggled to win the ball back and put pressure on after losing the ball. That’s what we need to improve,” Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti told the club’s website.
Don Carlo was not happy with the result.
“We could have lost because there was no balance at the back. It was not a good game for us. I am not happy because we could have done better. I don’t want to make excuses for anything, we just have to perform better and with a better attitude. We can learn a lot from this game. It is quite clear to me what the problems are,” he said.
