5 reasons why Real Madrid stumbled against Mallorca

Real Madrid opened its Spanish League title defense campaign, with a 1-1 draw against its counterpart, Real Mallorca, yesterday, Sunday.

Here are the most prominent reasons for Real Madrid’s stumble from the Yalla Shoot website:

1- Randomness: Randomness appeared in the performance of Real Madrid players during the match, especially from the trio of Mbappe, Vinicius, and Rodrigo, who... They played largely on the left side without changing the game, whether on the other side or deep, and the midfielders did not support the defence.

2- Defensive errors: not presented. The defense players performed as expected of them, and committed many individual errors, as the Mallorca team would have been able to score more goals had it not been for the recklessness of its players in front of the goal.

3- Wasting opportunities: Real Madrid players created some dangerous opportunities, but were unable to convert them into the net, in addition to the brilliance of the Mallorca goalkeeper, who was on the lookout for all the attempts of the royal team.

4- Physical collapse. Real Madrid players did not appear well physically in the second half, and fatigue and exhaustion appeared on the players who were unable to keep up with the Mallorca players and break their defensive blocks.

5 - Late substitutions: At a time when the team needed more energy and changes, coach Ancelotti preferred to continue with the same lineup until the last moments, and his late substitutions did not help him.
