Real Madrid kept their faint La Liga hopes alive with a dramatic stoppage-time goal against Mallorca on Wednesday, postponing Barcelona's title celebrations and injecting a final spark into Spain's football season.
Jacobo Ramón's 95th-minute winner capped a thrilling 2-1 comeback, as Madrid twice overturned deficits to extend the league race. Martin Valjent's early strike for Mallorca was canceled out by Kylian Mbappé's 68th-minute equalizer, maintaining the French striker's lead in the Golden Boot race with 28 goals.
'We fight until the math says otherwise,' said Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, acknowledging Barcelona's commanding position. The Catalan club requires just two points from their final three matches to clinch the title.
The victory follows Madrid's crushing 4-3 defeat to Barcelona in Sunday's El Clasico—their fourth loss to their rivals this season. While Madrid must win remaining matches against Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao, momentum now shifts to Barcelona's fixtures against Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti emphasized Madrid's resolve: 'This team never surrenders.' With Mbappé in electrifying form and La Liga's global audience awaiting a potential final-day showdown, Spain's football drama continues to captivate fans worldwide.
