Real Madrid Maintains Perfect LaLiga Start with 2-1 Comeback Win Over Mallorca

Real Madrid maintained their perfect start to the 2025-26 LaLiga season with a 2-1 comeback victory over Real Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabeu. Despite falling behind to an early Vedat Muriqi header, Madrid responded with two quick goals from Arda Guler and Vinicius Junior within minutes, securing their third consecutive win. The team had three additional goals disallowed, including two by Kylian Mbappé due to offside, but held firm defensively to see out the win. Under coach Xabi Alonso, who made key lineup decisions including bringing back Vinicius and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Madrid demonstrated continued improvement and resilience. The victory extended Madrid's home winning streak and reinforced Vinicius Junior's strong record against Mallorca, while young talent Franco Mastantuono became the youngest starter for the club at the Bernabeu in the 21st century. Madrid now prepares for a trip to face Real Sociedad in LaLiga and a UEFA Champions League opener against Marseille.
