The star Madrid club failed to beat Mallorca in the first game of the new championship.
Real unexpectedly started with a draw in the new Spanish championship. Madrid met mediocre Mallorca on the road and finished the game in a draw.
Andrey Lunin, as expected, remained on the bench. At the same time, Kylian Mbappe played his first match in the Spanish Championship with the Blancos.
However, this time the French star left the field without scoring a goal. Rodrigo scored in the 13th minute for the defending champions.
Mallorca players did not give up and managed to win back: at the beginning of the second half, Vedat Muriqi scored a corner kick. So it’s 1:1 – Real loses points in the first game of the championship.
