Real Madrid qualified for the final of the Spanish Super Cup after a resounding victory (3-0) against Mallorca, but the clash took a heated turn. Pablo Maffeo, the right back of Mallorca, known for his muscular confrontations with Vinicius Jr, further provoked the Brazilian, notably with provocative statements before the match. These tensions peaked at the end of the meeting, where the two teams exchanged heated words and gestures.
Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham and Raul Asencio also got involved in the scuffles, further increasing the tension. At the final whistle, Maffeo had to be escorted by a delegate back to the locker room.
Criticisms come from both sides
On the Mallorca side, the players denounced the provocations of the Madrilenians. Real-trained midfielder Omar Mascarell said: “They make us out to be the bad guys, but look at the images: Mallorca is not the only one at fault. »
For his part, vice-captain Dani Rodriguez criticized Raul Asencio: “He’s a young player, but he needs to learn how to win with respect. It will have time to mature. »
