Real Madrid found themselves frustrated after a surprising 1-1 draw against Mallorca on Sunday. Despite an early goal from Rodrygo in the 13th minute, Los Blancos couldn’t secure the win, with Vedat Muriqi equalizing for Mallorca shortly after halftime. The match ended on a sour note for Madrid as they were reduced to ten men deep into stoppage time following Ferland Mendy’s red card.
Post-Match Frustrations Revealed
Following the match, footage surfaced online showing a candid conversation between Real Madrid stars Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, and Vinicius Jr. The trio discussed what went wrong on the pitch, particularly their struggles to finish attacking plays. Bellingham, who was visibly frustrated, urged his teammates to focus on completing their attacks to avoid putting additional pressure on the defense.
Bellingham’s Candid Feedback
In the post-match exchange, Bellingham was heard saying, “You three, we need to finish the attack, because the running back… is f***ing hard.” Mbappe agreed, adding, “That’s what I’m saying. We have to finish with something.” Bellingham emphasized the need to create opportunities and take shots rather than losing possession, a sentiment that clearly resonated with his teammates.
Ancelotti’s Concerns Over Team Balance
Real Madrid’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, also addressed the team’s lack of balance during the match. He highlighted the importance of collective effort in regaining possession, stating, “Balance is found when players think the same when they have to win the ball back. We have to all go together.” Ancelotti acknowledged that Mallorca played a strong game and outperformed his team in key areas, leading to the disappointing result.
Early Season Standings and Rivals’ Success
This unexpected draw leaves Real Madrid sitting 12th in LaLiga after the opening weekend, a position far below their expectations. Meanwhile, archrivals Barcelona kicked off their campaign with a 2-1 victory over Valencia, with Robert Lewandowski scoring twice to overturn a first-half deficit.
Off-Field Success for Bellingham
Off the pitch, Jude Bellingham made headlines for a different reason, securing a lucrative deal with luxury fashion brand Louis Vuitton. The brand officially named Bellingham a “Friend of the House” just before the LaLiga season began, showcasing the young star in a series of stylish outfits.
