Real Madrid, the reigning La Liga champions, are set to begin their title defense against Mallorca on Monday, August 19th. While the matchup may appear straightforward on paper, Mallorca proved to be a formidable opponent last season, holding Real Madrid to just one goal in both fixtures.
Despite the challenge, Real Madrid enters the season with a boost of confidence after winning the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta. The 2-0 victory saw Federico Valverde and Kylian Mbappe, the newest addition to the squad, finding the back of the net. Mbappe’s debut goal marks the beginning of what is expected to be a significant contribution to the team.
Real Madrid will be looking to carry the momentum from the Super Cup win into the La Liga opener, seeking a strong start to their title defense. The match is scheduled to kick off at 1:00 AM IST on Monday, August 19th at Mallorca’s Son Moix Stadium.
