La Liga
RCD Mallorca vs Real Madrid – LIVE from 9.30pm
Real Madrid fluffed their league opener, slipping to a 1-1 draw at RCD Mallorca on Sunday evening.
Real Madrid's mission to defend their title began with a draw in Mallorca. In the first round of the Spanish soccer championship, the defending champions had to settle for a 1-1 draw despite taking a remarkable lead through Rodrygo after Vinicius Junior's 13th-minute strike.
Kylian Mbappé, who had scored at the first attempt in the Super Cup, was unlucky with several shots on his La Liga debut.
The underdogs equalized with a powerful header from Vedat Muriqi (53'). The "royals" pressed for the win once more in the final stages, but it was the Mallorcans who had the clearer chances. Visiting player Ferland Mendy was shown a straight red in stoppage time after a rude tackle. David Alaba is still missing from Carlo Ancelotti's team through injury.
