Real Madrid suffer La Liga title blow in Mallorca defeat

Real Madrid have suffered a major setback in the La Liga title race following a dramatic 2-1 stoppage-time defeat away to Real Mallorca.

The reigning Spanish champions were stunned in the dying moments of the match as the hosts snatched all three points.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side knew that victory was essential to maintain pressure on their rivals at the summit of the table.

However, the visitors were left empty-handed after succumbing to a decisive final-minute strike.

Late drama stuns the champions

The away side struggled to assert their usual dominance against a resilient and highly organised Balearic outfit.

Despite boasting a star-studded attacking lineup, the European heavyweights found it difficult to break down a resolute home defence.

This shock 2-1 result leaves the capital club facing an increasingly difficult battle to secure the domestic crown this season.

Failing to secure a victory at this critical stage of the campaign hands a significant mathematical advantage to their league rivals.

The unexpected loss will inevitably place immense pressure on the squad ahead of their upcoming domestic fixtures.

Supporters will now demand an immediate and ruthless response to prevent their league campaign from derailing entirely.
