Real Madrid Achieves Third Consecutive La Liga Win Over Mallorca

Real Madrid secured their third consecutive La Liga victory by defeating Mallorca 2-1 at the Bernabeu, maintaining a perfect start to the 2025/26 season under new coach Xabi Alonso. Despite having three goals disallowed by VAR, including two for Kylian Mbappe and one for Arda Guler, Real Madrid rallied after falling behind to Vedat Muriqi's early goal. Arda Guler equalized with a header and Vinicius Jr. quickly put Madrid ahead before halftime, with Vinicius showcasing impressive form. The second half saw further VAR intervention disallowing a Guler goal due to handball, and Mallorca pushing hard for an equalizer, but Real Madrid's defense held firm. The win highlights Madrid's resilience and strong squad performance as they prepare for upcoming international duties and a challenging fixture list. The result shifts attention to La Liga rivals Barcelona, who are also unbeaten early in the season.
