RCD Mallorca delivered a stunning upset against Real Madrid, winning 2-1 at Son Moix Stadium on April 4, 2026. This victory not only boosts Mallorca’s hopes of escaping the relegation zone but also complicates Real Madrid’s title chase, as they remain four points behind Barcelona in the La Liga standings.
The match saw Mallorca take the lead just before half-time, with Manu Morlanes scoring the opener. Real Madrid equalized in the second half through Éder Militão, who headed in from a corner. However, it was Vedat Muriqi who became the hero for Mallorca, netting the winning goal in stoppage time after a swift counter-attack, converting a cross from Mateo Joseph.
Muriqi’s goal marked his 17th of the season, solidifying his status as Mallorca’s top scorer. The win is particularly significant for Mallorca, who now have 28 points and are fighting to avoid relegation, sitting in 18th place with a goal differential of -13.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, remains in second place with 69 points and a goal differential of +37, which is the second-best in the league. Despite Kylian Mbappé’s six shots during the match, the team could not capitalize on their opportunities, highlighting a rare off day for the usually prolific attack.
This defeat raises questions about Real Madrid’s consistency as they approach the final stretch of the season. With the title race heating up, every point is crucial, and this loss could prove costly in their pursuit of La Liga glory.
As Mallorca aims to climb out of the relegation zone, they will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures. Meanwhile, Real Madrid must regroup quickly to maintain their position in the title race.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential injuries or tactical changes that may arise from this match. The implications of this game will be closely monitored as both teams navigate the final weeks of the season.
