I am sure many gamblers like me lost their money in this match. Everyone considered Real Madrid as the favorite and bet on Madrid to win. There was no reason to think of Mallorca as favorites in this match. And it was difficult to predict that this match would be a draw. Because Mallorca was not a strong opponent for Real Madrid. Even last season the Mallorca team was 15th in the table.
Real Madrid did not perform well in this match. I thought we would see a more composed performance from Madrid. I thought that since Madrid have a strong midfield and attack, Madrid will definitely play aggressive from the start of the match. But Madrid played very defensive in the first half. Even in the second half, the team did not get a chance to attack much.
The draw was clearly disappointing for Real Madrid but they have to realize that they did perform badly and there is a problem that they have to solve. Real Madrid tends to play attacking football in this match, but when faced with opponents they play a bus parking strategy, they seem to have lost their creativity, and what is quite worrying is that there is no balance when it comes to defense, thus giving Mallorca plenty of room to make their attempt.
