Real Madrid staged a thrilling comeback to beat Mallorca 2-1 on Wednesday, postponing Barcelona’s LaLiga title celebration. Jacobo Ramon scored a stoppage-time winner in the fifth minute of added time to keep Real’s slim title hopes alive. The goal came just seconds before Barcelona could have secured the championship with a draw in Mallorca’s match.
Mallorca took an early lead when defender Martin Valjent fired an angled strike from inside the box in the 11th minute. Despite this, Real Madrid dominated the match, holding over 72% possession and launching 39 attempts on goal. They also earned 26 corners, constantly pressuring Mallorca’s defense.
Kylian Mbappe equalized for Real Madrid in the 68th minute with a brilliant individual effort. The Madrid side faced a tough challenge missing 12 players due to injuries but showed great determination throughout. However, Mallorca’s goalkeeper Leo Roman was in top form, making 11 impressive saves that kept the game level.
The breakthrough came late, when Mallorca’s defense failed to clear a cross inside the box during stoppage time. Jacobo Ramon, making his first league start, reacted quickly and volleyed the ball into the net to secure a dramatic victory for Real Madrid.
After the game, Ramon described his winning goal as “inexplicable” and said scoring in such a moment was a lifelong dream. He pledged his commitment to the club, calling the moment unforgettable.
With this win, Real Madrid remains four points behind Barcelona, who hold a game in hand. Barcelona can still clinch their 28th LaLiga title by defeating Espanyol in their next match.
Real Madrid’s performance showed resilience despite a depleted squad. Their persistent attacking and late goal kept the title race open, promising a tense finish to the season. Fans will watch closely to see if Real can maintain their momentum in the remaining games.
