Real Madrid pulled off a dramatic 2-1 victory over Real Mallorca, effectively delaying Barcelona's title celebrations in La Liga. The match, held on Wednesday, saw Los Blancos cut the gap to the Catalan giants to just four points ahead of Barcelona’s match against Espanyol, where they could clinch the championship with a win.

The game started on a challenging note for Real Madrid, who fell behind early due to Martin Valjent’s 11th-minute goal for Mallorca. Despite controlling much of the match, Madrid struggled to find the back of the net until the second half. Kylian Mbappe equalized in the 68th minute, showcasing his skill by maneuvering past multiple defenders before scoring. His goal marked the 40th of a remarkable season, though it’s been a tough campaign for the team overall, having been bested by Barcelona in several key matches this year.

The decisive moment came in stoppage time when defender Jacobo Ramon scored a dramatic winner, lifting the ball over the Mallorca goalkeeper Leo Roman. This late strike not only secured the three points for Madrid but also prevented Barcelona from celebrating their 28th La Liga title just yet.

Madrid’s coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is set to leave the club to manage the Brazilian national team, is looking to end the season on a high note despite ongoing injury struggles within his squad. With key players like Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo unavailable, the victory against Mallorca showcased the team's resilience and fighting spirit as they prepare for the final matches of the season.
