Real Madrid C.F. suffered a crushing setback in the title race after a dramatic 2-1 defeat to RCD Mallorca.

Mallorca struck first before the break as Manu Morlanes finished with composure after a clever assist from Pablo Maffeo.

The hosts’ early threat paid off, leaving Madrid chasing the game under mounting pressure.

Kylian Mbappé led Madrid’s charge but was repeatedly denied by a heroic display from Leo Román.

Despite relentless pressure, Mallorca’s defence held firm deep into the contest.

Madrid thought they had salvaged a point when Éder Militão powered in a late header.

But in a stunning twist, Vedat Muriqi delivered a killer blow in stoppage time to seal victory.

The result leaves Madrid reeling in the title race, now trailing FC Barcelona.

For Mallorca, it was a statement win that drags them further away from relegation danger.
