La Liga: Real Madrid's title hopes hang in the balance as Mallorca snatch stoppage-time winner
Real Madrid suffered a major blow to their La Liga title hopes when Vedat Muriqi's late winner for Mallorca kept Alvaro Arbeloa's side four points behind Barcelona. Mallorca went ahead four minutes before half-time when Manu Morlanes slotted into the bottom right corner. Real salvaged a point in the 88th minute when Eder Militao headed in from Trent Alexander-Arnold's corner. Muriqi struck his 19th league goal of the season in the first minute of stoppage time.
The result means Real failed to narrow the gap to Barcelona, while Mallorca moved two points clear of the relegation zone. Arbeloa's visitors had several chances before Mallorca took the lead, but home goalkeeper Leo Roman was in fine form. Kylian Mbappe was denied by Roman multiple times, and Arda Guler's shot was saved by Roman. Morlanes headed over from six yards but made up for his miss by putting Mallorca ahead. The first defeat by Mallorca since February 2023 put a major dent in Real's chances of La Liga glory.
Real could fall further behind in the title race when Barcelona face Atletico Madrid later on Saturday (20:00 BST). Real will hope to return to winning ways when they host Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday (20:00 BST).
