Football prediction Real Madrid vs Mallorca: Don't give up

Football review Real Madrid vs Mallorca: The squad suffered serious losses, but Real Madrid is determined not to give up when hosting Mallorca, round 36 of La Liga.

After the El Clasico lost 3-4 to Barcelona , ​​the remaining 3 matches in La Liga 2024/25 are considered a formality for Real Madrid.

However, that does not mean Real Madrid enter the reception of Mallorca with an indifferent attitude.

Real Madrid must end the season on a high note, finishing at least second in La Liga – five points clear of Atletico Madrid.

Fame is not something that can be given for free. “Los Blancos” had to fight for it, also preventing Barcelona from winning La Liga 24 hours early.

If Real Madrid fail to beat Mallorca, Barca will be crowned Spanish champions. The Catalan derby with Espanyol will then become a celebration for Hansi Flick and his team.

The match against Mallorca somewhat reflects the general face of Real Madrid this season: a serious shortage of personnel.

“Los Blancos” with 9 injuries and 1 suspension, forced Ancelotti to find a way to find balance, against Mallorca who are looking for a place in the European Cup.

In addition to the absence of Rudiger, Mendy, Alaba, Carvajal, Militao and Camavinga, other losses include Tchouameni (suspended), while Lucas Vazquez and Vinicius are injured in El Clasico.

Most recently, Rodrygo had to leave training. The Brazilian player has been uncomfortable since El Clasico, leading to rumors that he was punished.

This forced Ancelotti to call up 8 players from the youth team to have enough players to play against Mallorca.

On an individual level, Kylian Mbappe is the focus. After a historic hat-trick against Barca , the former PSG player is in a strong position in the race for the Pichichi.

In a season of failure in terms of major titles, Mbappe wants to console himself with individual awards.

Pichichi will give Mbappe more motivation to enter a new phase with Real Madrid: the Xabi Alonso era starting from the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the US.

At the Bernabeu, Arda Guler, Jude Bellingham and Brahim Diaz will join Mbappe to break down the Mallorca defence.
