Real Madrid’s La Liga title defense began with a frustrating 1-1 draw against Mallorca in the season opener.
Despite the anticipation surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s much-hyped debut, Los Blancos struggled to secure all three points on a challenging night in Palma.
Rodrygo Goes gave Real Madrid an early lead, capitalizing on their dominant play in the opening half.
However, the visitors were unable to extend their advantage, leaving them exposed to a Mallorca comeback.
Vedat Muriqi took full advantage of the opportunity, powering home a header in the second half to level the score for the hosts.
Mallorca, energized by the equalizer, resisted Madrid’s attempts to regain control and even threatened to snatch a late winner on the counterattack.
