Real Madrid vs. Mallorca: A First-Half Analysis and Player Performance Review


Real Madrid displayed an exciting first half against Mallorca, with an impressive attack led by Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, Bellingham, and Mbappé. Despite an early lead, defensive errors allowed Mallorca to equalize. Here’s a breakdown of the key moments, player performances, and how each contributed to the team’s dynamics.

Real Madrid enjoyed a dominant first half, especially when space opened up in Mallorca’s defense. Vinicius Jr. was instrumental in driving the team forward after a strong start from Mallorca. The front line of Rodrygo, Bellingham, and Mbappé showed great fluidity and connection, keeping the Mallorca defense on their toes.

Carlo Ancelotti, fresh off equaling Miguel Muñoz’s record of 14 titles, opted for the same starting XI as in the European Super Cup. The first half saw Real Madrid playing with fluidity in attack, particularly when Bellingham was instructed to cover the left flank in a 4-4-2 formation. Despite the good start, defensive lapses allowed Mallorca to capitalize and equalize.

Real Madrid’s first-half performance was a tale of two halves—excellent in attack but shaky in defense. While the ‘BMV’ (Bellingham, Mbappé, Vinicius) connection brought excitement and fluid play, defensive errors allowed Mallorca back into the game. Moving forward, Madrid will need to tighten up defensively to maintain their dominance in matches.
