The Real Madrid defending champions come from behind to overcome Mallorca and keep alive the defense of the League title.
Jacobo Ramon deeply scored in the detention time when Real Madrid recovered to beat Mallorca 2-1 and delay the celebration of the Barcelona title.
Madrid needed the victory on Wednesday to prevent Barcelona from ensuring its title 28 of the League without winning another game. The Catalan club continues with four points ahead and can still lift the trophy with a victory in the Spanish city rival on Thursday.
Mallorca took the lead with a goal by Martin Valjent in the 11th minute and stayed until Kylian Mbappe beat a couple of defenders to match in 68.
Ramón scored the goal of the head from inside the area five minutes in the time of injury, preventing Barcelona from winning the title, for now.
Mbappe is still in the race to be the top scorer of the League, arriving for Wednesday's game with 27 goals, two more than Robert Lewandowski in Barcelona. Mbappe had a hat-trick in the defeat against Barcelona on Sunday.
Barcelona practically assured the title to come from behind to beat Madrid 4-3 in Barcelona in the last “classic” of the season on Sunday. Madrid lost the four games against Barcelona this season, being surpassed by 16-7. It was the first time that Barcelona won each “classic” in a season that had at least three games among the rivals.
The Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, received a mostly indifferent reaction from the Santiago Bernabeu stadium fans on Wednesday after taking over the work of Brazil.
The Italian was announced as the new Brazilian coach on Monday, and some Madrid fans criticized the coach for negotiating with the five times champions with the league season still underway.
There were no significant jeers or cheers when the speakers announced the name of Ancelotti in the Bernabéu before the game, and most fans applauded and say their name along with the announcer, following the tradition in the stadium.
