Real Madrid, a famous team with noble titles and impressive achievements, is facing a big shock when it unfortunately lost points against Mallorca. Under the leadership of coach Carlo Ancelotti, this team is expected to maintain stable performance and compete fiercely in all arenas. However, the result was not as expected when Real Madrid failed to take advantage of the opportunity and let the opponent win. This is a shock to fans and a big challenge for Ancelotti in the upcoming journey.
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid Face Difficulties Right From the First Round of La Liga 2024/2025
Real Madrid, the team considered the strongest candidate for the La Liga 2024/2025 championship, faced difficulties in the opening match when they only got a 1-1 draw against Mallorca. With quality personnel additions in the summer transfer window of 2024, coach Carlo Ancelotti’s team is expected to create overwhelming strength. The match took place at Mallorca’s home field, a team that was considered much weaker, and Real Madrid controlled the game from the start.
The White Vultures put a lot of pressure on the home team’s field, leading to Rodrygo’s early opening goal in the 13th minute, after a smart pass from Vinicius. Despite having an early advantage and continuously creating scoring opportunities, Real Madrid could not convert the opportunities into goals.
In the second half, Real Madrid suffered a loss when Vedat Muriqi scored an equalizer for Mallorca in the 53rd minute, making the match more exciting. Coach Ancelotti instructed his students to push up the squad to look for a goal to take the lead, but the away team’s stars were unlucky in scoring. As a result, Real Madrid could only leave the field with a 1-1 draw.
Similarly, Atletico Madrid did not have a favorable start in round 1 of La Liga 2024/2025. During the away match at Villarreal, individual mistakes by goalkeeper Jan Oblak forced coach Diego Simeone’s team to accept a 2-2 draw. These results pose big challenges for both Madrid teams in the race for the La Liga championship this season.
Barca Starts La Liga 2024/2025 Season Successfully
In the La Liga 2024/2025 season, FC Barcelona, along with Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, are the three leading candidates for the championship. Despite facing many difficulties in the preparation stage and only adding a few quality contracts, Barcelona still started the season impressively.
In the opening match, Barcelona traveled to Valencia, a tough opponent despite not being in the recent championship competition. The match was tense and Barcelona faced many difficulties, especially when Valencia took the lead in the 44th minute. However, Robert Lewandowski’s brilliance with two goals helped the away team come back to win 2-1.
Although Valencia tried hard to find an equalizer in the remaining minutes, Barcelona still successfully defended their advantage. This result helped Barca temporarily lead the La Liga rankings, starting the season smoothly.
