Led at the score during most of the match, the Merengues finally scored two goals in the second period.
According to Diario As, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti returned to performance against Mallorca, who impressed him. He believes that if his team had been as performing in other games, she could have been in better position than it is currently.
Ancelotti changes his mind on the title race
“We do not give up despite our 12 wounded, which is very rare … The problem was resolved thanks to a good collective attitude. I have never seen a team shoot 40 times to the goal like today. We have covered so many injured thanks to an extraordinary effort. If we had done it on more games, the season would have been better. »»
This victory allows the Real Madrid to return to four points from Barcelona, which can still win La Liga on Thursday by winning on the field of Espanyol. But as long as this is not mathematically possible, Ancelotti does not give up.
Ancelotti continues to believe it
“We believe in our ability to do our work, to gain what is left and to see what is happening. They have to lose, but anything can happen. We are still in the race. »»
The match against Mallorca was the penultimate of Ancelotti at the head of Real Madrid at Bernabéu. He spoke of this experience and his two terms at the head of the club.
“Whenever I am on the bench at Bernabéu, it's special, as always. But I leave with tranquility and serenity of having done what I have been able to, that my teams are trying to win until the last minute, as we do at Real Madrid. »»
