Remember, almost a year ago, Carlo Ancelotti had made the very strange choice to put Kylian Mbappé at the marking of Vedat Muriqi. The striker of Mallorca, excelled in the air at the top of his 1.94 m, had precisely marked the head against Thibaut Courtois, during a trip to the Balearic (1-1).

This Saturday, when Mallorca arrived in Bernabéu, Real again took a goal from the striker Kosovar and this time Aurélien Tchouameni is guilty. On a corner from the left executed by Pablo Torres (recruited at Barça), Muriqi has speeded up the French international and took over the ball to open the scoring (19th). The first goal of the season for the star player of the Majorquins.

Tchouameni in 6, Mbappé in point

As in the first two Liga matches, Aurélien Tchouamed began as number 6 of Xabi Alonso 4-3-3, with Arda Güler by his side and a Federico Valverde a little more free. Eduardo Camavonga and Ferland Mendy were new packages.

Kylian Mbappé was associated with Vinicius and Franco Mastantuono in the offensive trio and, a few minutes before the opening of the Muriqi score, the title Pichichi and Golden Soulier, launched from far by Trent Alexander-Arnold, had seen a first goal refused for offside (7th).

It was Dean Huijsen and Vinicius, on two goals scored blowing into a blow (37th and 38th), which allowed Real Madrid to take the advantage when approaching half-time.
