Real Madrid vs Mallorca: Ancelotti’s Farewell Begins as Title Slips Away; Mbappe Eyes Top Scorer Award

Real Madrid welcome Mallorca to the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday night in a crucial La Liga clash that could officially hand the title to Barcelona if Los Blancos fail to win.

Having lost 4-3 in a pulsating El Clasico last weekend, Real Madrid are now seven points adrift of the leaders with just three games remaining. Victory is a must if they hope to delay Barca’s title celebrations for at least 24 more hours.

🔵⚪Real Madrid Seek Pride, Not the Crown | Home Win = 1.39💵

The mood in the Spanish capital is one of frustration following Sunday’s dramatic defeat at Montjuïc. Despite Kylian Mbappe’s hat-trick heroics, Madrid’s defensive collapse saw them concede four first-half goals to Barcelona, a result that has almost certainly ended their title challenge.

Carlo Ancelotti, who is set to leave at the end of the season to take over as Brazil coach, now looks to guide his side to a strong finish with remaining fixtures against Mallorca, Sevilla, and Real Sociedad.

Madrid has won 14 of 17 home games in La Liga this season (D1, L2), and they’ll be eager to maintain that momentum. Los Blancos also boast a dominant home record against Mallorca, winning their last eight La Liga meetings at the Bernabéu and scoring 25 goals across those fixtures.

❤️Mallorca Aiming for European Push | Away Win = 8.09💵

Mallorca, who sit ninth in the table, come into this fixture with Europa or Conference League dreams still alive. Jagoba Arrasate’s men ended a three-game winless run by beating relegated Real Valladolid 2-1, showing signs of resilience and ambition.

Though they held Madrid to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture, their away form remains a concern. Mallorca have lost five of their last eight road trips and failed to score in eight of 17 La Liga away matches—only Getafe and Sociedad have fared worse.

Still, with European places just two points out of reach, Mallorca will be motivated to punch above their weight. Any result in Madrid could prove massive for their continental aspirations.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Real Madrid will be without several starters: Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy, and Camavinga are all sidelined. Vinicius Jr. (ankle) is a major doubt, while Lucas Vázquez and Tchouameni (suspension) are also ruled out.

Kylian Mbappe remains the central figure, with five goals in his last two league games. Rodrygo, still recovering from illness, may return to the starting XI depending on fitness levels.

For Mallorca, Abdon Prats, Morlanes, and Navarro are confirmed absentees. Chiquinho remains doubtful, while Jose Copete, Antonio Sanchez, and Cyle Larin could be rotated into the starting lineup by Arrasate.
