Match Stats

Mallorca will compete in La Liga for the fourth consecutive season, their best stretch since 2013, but they struggled during the 2023-24 campaign. Finishing 15th, just seven points clear of relegation, they now have a new manager, Jagoba Arrasate, who joined from Osasuna.

This summer, Mallorca bolstered their squad with Johan Mojica from Villarreal and free transfers Takuma Asano and Mateu Morey. The notable departure is goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic, who moved to the Saudi Pro League. They have defeated Real Madrid only once in La Liga since October 2019, with a 1-0 win at home in February 2023. Real Madrid won both league matches last season 1-0 and are strong favorites for the upcoming game, especially after their impressive UEFA Super Cup performance.

Kylian Mbappe marked his Real Madrid debut with a goal in their 2-0 UEFA Super Cup win over Atalanta BC. Jude Bellingham also shone in a deeper role, and with the additions of Mbappe and young talent Endrick, Real Madrid are favorites for both La Liga and the Champions League. Their pre-season included losses to AC Milan and Barcelona but a win over Chelsea, and they showed strong second-half form against Atalanta. Last season, they dominated La Liga with 95 points, the best attacking and defensive records, and only one defeat. They aim to start their 2024-25 campaign on a high before facing Real Valladolid and Las Palmas later in the month.
