The start of a football season is always the best time for teams to gain momentum. Real Madrid, with their deep and talented squad, were highly favored to win their opening game against Mallorca. The Spanish giants have shown their dominance in the football world for decades.
In the 2023/2024 season, Real Madrid achieved another milestone by winning the UEFA Champions League, securing a record 15 titles. The team also made headlines with their highly anticipated signing of Kylian Mbappé from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). This strategic move aimed to strengthen the team’s forward line and push for more victories.
Despite these expectations, Real Madrid struggled to secure a win in their LaLiga opener. Facing a Mallorca team that finished 15th in the previous season, the current LaLiga and Champions League winners could only manage a 1-1 draw. Madrid had the opener to the game from Rodrygo in the 13th Minute. Right after the halftime break, Muriqi of Mallorca broke the joy of Madrid with an equalizer. This surprising result serves as a reminder that this season will be challenging, with many clubs making significant investments during the transfer window.
Real Madrid’s draw against Mallorca also highlights the growing competition in the league. Teams are ready to fight for the title this season, and the battle will be fierce. However, fans can take comfort in the fact that Real Madrid are currently on one of the longest unbeaten runs in LaLiga history, with 32 games undefeated.
This opening match is a wake-up call for Real Madrid as they look to maintain their dominance in LaLiga and Europe this season.
