Real Madrid dropped points in their Primera Division opener as they could only manage a 1-1 draw away at Mallorca.

Things started well for Los Blancos as Rodrygo opened the scoring with 13 minutes on the clock with a flashed finish into the right corner.

Mallorca would equalise in the 53rd minute and thereafter Real Madrid were unable to break their opponents down.

Player of the Match

Real Madrid's goalscorer on the night, Rodrygo, was their best player overall. With Kylian Mbappe's arrival and the untouchable status of Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, the pressure is on the Brazilian to deliver this campaign and he has already impressed in his first two competitive matches in 2024/25.
