Real Madrid would have to endure another night of frustration after losing to Mallorca on Sunday.
It was Nacho Fernandez own goal which dealt a big blow to Los Blancos chances as they once again lost the opportunity to close the gap with Barcelona on the summit of the league.
Although key players like Karim Benzema, Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois all missed out in the encounter due to injuries, Madrid lost the chance to leave a mark in the game when Marco Asensio failed to turn in a penalty after Vinicius was fouled in the box.
Despite all the push and pull, the Carlo Ancelloti’s led side would ultimately travel back home with a heavy mind.
While the result is their third LaLiga defeat in the current season, Los Blancos remain second, eight points behind leaders Barcelona who won 3-0 against Sevilla on Sunday night.
