Madrid triumphed over Mallorca despite three goals being nullified by VAR, a controversial decision that did not impede their victory.
In a thrilling encounter at the Bernabeu on Saturday, Real Madrid edged past Mallorca 2-1. The match, filled with drama and controversy, left fans on the edge of their seats due to three goals being chalked off after VAR reviews.
The first half was a rollercoaster ride for both teams. In the 37th minute, Arda Guler opened the scoring for Real Madrid, only for the goal to be disallowed due to Guler's handball in the build-up, as confirmed by VAR. The VAR system was again in action in first-half stoppage time, this time disallowing a goal for Real Madrid.
However, Vinicius Jr managed to find the back of the net in the 38th minute, giving Real Madrid a well-deserved lead. Mallorca responded in the 21st minute with Vedat Muriqi's goal, but it was Alvaro Carreras who secured the three points for Real Madrid with a crucial goalline clearance.
Mallorca played a clever game, attempting to hit Madrid on the break, but Real Madrid's superior attacking quality proved too much for the visitors. Kylian Mbappe had a goal overturned by VAR in the seventh minute due to being offside.
Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, stating that the team is on the right path. Alonso aims to refine things for the upcoming games, including the Champions League. Carreras, who joined Real Madrid from Benfica in July, expressed his happiness with his experience at the club and stated his intention to give his all for the team.
Alonso was also pleased with the results, praising the line the team is playing. The coach believes that the team is moving in the right direction and is looking forward to the next block of games. Despite the controversies, it was a win that Real Madrid and their fans will cherish, as they continue their pursuit of success.
