Real Madrid came back with a goal from Jacobo Ramón in the 95th minute.

A header from Jesús Vallejo and a shot from Jacobo Ramón in the 95th minute prevented Barcelona from being crowned champions tonight. The move, the last of the match, completed a comeback by a Madrid side that besieged a Mallorca side that did nothing but defend itself, supported by a series of great saves from Leo Román, Greif's regular substitute, and that emerged from a Bernabéu that saw its worst crowd of the season, a testament to the dismay that reigned among the fans after Sunday's defeat in the Clásico at Montjuïc.

Ancelotti's excuse this time is that his team was severely depleted by injuries—up to twelve, a historic figure—but the fact doesn't hide the fact that nine of the first team started, actually ten because Raúl Asencio, despite being registered with the reserve team, has been a starter all season due to Militao's absence. The only true reserve team member in the starting lineup was the other center-back, Jacobo Ramón, the unexpected hero.

The first goal Valjent scored very early

Mallorca, who hadn't won at the Bernabéu since 2009, came into the match fighting for a European spot. In reality, they only added insult to injury to the Whites, scoring early in the eleventh minute after a mistake by Ceballos, who hasn't been making a comeback this season, but Valjent capitalized on it to beat Courtois with a cross.

From the 1-0 lead, Joseba Arrasate's team retreated, and Madrid, at a slow pace and controlled by Modric, repeatedly attacked Leo Román's area, but from then until the break, he stopped everything. By the second minute, he had saved a shot from Endrick, who missed in the one-on-one.

He then despaired of a host of finishers: Bellingham, Modric, Mbappé, and most recently, Valverde. The Ibizan goalkeeper was a wall of fire and was having the game of his life. Güler and Mbappé himself also missed shots that looked like they would have equalized.

The crowd, who had booed their team after the away goal, watched the spectacle half-heartedly and bored with the season, eager to turn the page and for Xabi Alonso to clean up his act, if they let him, so he can go into the Club World Cup with a modicum of hope.

The second part Siege of Madrid

Ancelotti opted not to move the bench at the start of the second half, always with the idea of ​​keeping at least seven of the first team players on the pitch (and he had nine).

Madrid came out with a different mood than in the first half. They revved up their game and quickly surrounded the Vermillion box, with the entire Mallorca team entrenched in just a few yards around Román. Ancelotti's team attacked with so many players that it also invited a counterattack from the visitors.

At times, it seemed as though an equalizer was impossible not to come. However, as the minutes ticked by, Madrid failed to secure a goal, and clear-cut scoring opportunities dwindled despite the Whites' overwhelming possession.

Just as Madrid's pace was beginning to wane, Madrid finally scored, in the 68th minute, of course, from Mbappé, an individual play. Almost immediately after, Mallorca had a chance to make it 2-1 after a mistake by Jacobo, but Courtois saved Morey's shot.

The comeback Jacobo scored from a pass from Vallejo

Madrid intensified their pressure after the equalizer. Román saved a goal from Güler, Valjent saved another from Mbappé. Gonzalo missed a sure goal from the goal line. Then Román saved another from Valverde. In the 95th minute, a misunderstanding between Copete and Román led to the goal that Madrid had so richly deserved, thanks to two unexpected protagonists in Vallejo and Ramón. Barcelona, ​​if they want to be champions this Thursday, must beat Espanyol .
