Aurélien Tchouaméni gives Real Madrid victory with a beautiful blast from 25 meters

Real Madrid took another big step towards their 36th national title on Saturday evening. When visiting Real Mallorca, coach Carlo Ancelotti's team was too strong with a 0-1 scoreline. The only goal came from Aurélien Tchouaméni. Real Madrid now has eleven points more than number two FC Barcelona, ​​which still has a game in hand. Real Mallorca is now fifteenth.

Real Madrid played the first leg against Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last week (3-3), and will travel to England for the return next week. That is why a number of players were given rest against Mallorca.

Vinicius Júnior, Toni Kroos and Rodrygo, among others, started on the bench, allowing players such as Brahim Díaz, Luka Modric and Joselu to show off from the first minute against the losing Copa del Rey finalist.

It took a while before the match really got going. Only after more than an hour did the first big opportunity present itself, and it was for Mallorca. Antonio Raillo headed the ball towards goal after a corner kick, but goalkeeper Andriy Lunin made an excellent save.

A few minutes later, the visitors also showed themselves for the first time, but Jude Bellingham's effort exploded onto the crossbar above goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic.

As boring as the first half was, the second act started just as spectacularly. Tchouaméni decided to give it a try just after the break from about 25 meters away, and the ball swung beautifully into the far top corner: 0-1.

In the following phase, Real Madrid had the opportunity to double the score several times, but Díaz, substitute Vinicius Júnior and Federico Valverde, among others, were unable to get the ball in. On the other side of the field, Lunin made a nice save on an attempt by Sergi Darder. Partly because of this, the three points ultimately went to Madrid.
