Rodrygo Goes gave Real Madrid an early lead, capitalizing on their dominant first-half performance. However, they failed to build on their advantage, leaving them exposed to a Mallorca comeback.

In fact, Mallorca even came close to securing a late victory on the counterattack, leaving Real Madrid with a frustrating draw to begin their title defense.”
