PALMA DE MALLORCA, Spain (April 4, 2026) (Interstat) — Mallorca opened its La Liga season with a dramatic 2-1 victory over heavily favored Real Madrid on Saturday at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.

Manu Morlanes gave the hosts a lead in the 41st minute. Real Madrid’s Éder Militão, a second-half substitute, equalized in the 88th minute. But Mallorca forward Vedat Muriqi delivered the decisive blow in the first minute of stoppage time, sealing the upset.

The result defied pre-match projections, as statistical models heavily favored Real Madrid. The visitors, who began their campaign with a loss, saw five players booked. Mallorca’s goalkeeper Leo Román and three others also received yellow cards in a physical contest.
