Before the week of fire with games against Manchester City and Barcelona, Real came through victorious in the home of Mallorca.
Real did their duty in the Balearic Islands and a 1-0 win over Mallorca in matchday 31 of La Liga kept them out of title contention a week before they face the only team that can chase them, Barcelona.
The Merengues appeared tired from the epic game against Manchester City, although they lined up with changes. Rayo went close but was denied by Andrei Lunin, with Jude Bellingham replying with the post. At the start of the 2nd half, however, Aurelien Chouameni gave the visitors the lead with a goal that proved decisive.
The Islanders failed to react and Carlo Ancelotti’s men had the upper hand, creating more chances. Their failure led to increased tension in the closing minutes, but Lunin stepped in when needed to hold on for 1-0, ahead of a torrid week with games against Manchester City in England and Barcelona in Madrid.
