Team Analysis
Mallorca: Last season, Mallorca was primarily focused on survival, finishing 15th in La Liga, 7 points clear of the relegation zone. They also made a notable run to the Copa del Rey final, where they were defeated by Athletic Bilbao in a penalty shootout. The summer saw the departure of coach Javier Aguirre, who was replaced by Jagoba Arrasate, known for his success with Osasuna. However, the loss of key players like Rajkovic and Radonjić might weaken the team, despite the arrival of Morel.
Real Madrid: Real Madrid, under Carlo Ancelotti, is coming off a successful season where they added another Champions League title and a UEFA Super Cup to their trophy cabinet. The team has strengthened its attack with the signings of Kylian Mbappé and young Brazilian talent Endrick.
