Real Madrid prevents Barcelona from winning La Liga early

TPO - Jacobo Ramon's late goal in the 5th minute of injury time helped Real Madrid come from behind to defeat Mallorca 2-1, thereby delaying the coronation day of arch-rival Barcelona.

Jacobo Ramon scored for Real in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

If Real Madrid lose to Mallorca in round 36 of La Liga, they will hand over the championship to Barcelona even before the Catalan team takes the field. At that time, Barca is 7 points ahead of Real and has the advantage in head-to-head record, in the context that Real only has 2 matches left.

At the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in the early morning of May 15 (Vietnam time), Real was soon doused with cold water when Martin Valjent opened the score for Mallorca in the 11th minute. It was not until the 68th minute that Kylian Mbappe spoke up with a dribble that eliminated two defenders and then scored to tie the score 1-1.

Just when it seemed like the match would end in a draw, Jacobo Ramon shone with a golden goal in the 5th minute of injury time, sealing a 2-1 victory for the home team.

This victory helped Real Madrid shorten the gap with Barca to 4 points, and forced their arch-rivals to wait at least one more day to officially win the 28th La Liga title.

Barca will be crowned champions if they defeat Espanyol in the Catalonia derby taking place early tomorrow morning, May 16. As for Mbappe, he continues to lead the race for the Golden Boot with 28 goals, 2 more than Robert Lewandowski (Barca).

However, the French striker has not been able to help Real overcome Barcelona this season. Previously, Mbappe scored a hat-trick in the "El Clasico" match on Sunday but Real still lost 3-4 away.

It is worth mentioning that the Royal team has lost all 4 times facing Barca this season, with a total score of 7-16 - the first time in history that Barca has won all 4 matches in a season with at least 3 "El Clasico" matches.

After the match, coach Carlo Ancelotti also attracted attention when he received mixed reactions from Bernabeu spectators. The Italian strategist has been confirmed to lead the Brazilian team from this summer, when La Liga is still in the sprint stage.

Although some fans criticized Ancelotti for not being fully committed to Real, the majority of the crowd still kept up the home stadium tradition. They clapped and chanted when Ancelotti's name was announced over the loudspeaker system before the match.
