Real Madrid got off to a great start with two goals scored by Kylian Mbappe within the opening fifteen minutes of the match. However, Barcelona quickly took control of the game and scored four goals, three of which came in the first thirteen minutes, to score four goals and take a 4-2 lead into halftime.It was in the 70th minute when Mbappe found the back of the goal, making him the third player in the 21st century to score a hat trick in La Liga. However, his efforts ultimately did not matter much because Real Madrid was defeated in their fourth Clasico encounter of the season, leaving them seven points behind with only three games left to play.
Should Los Blancos fail to overcome Mallorca, they may potentially assign the title to their opponents on Wednesday; a win would at least maintain their limited hopes for another twenty-four hours until Barcelona faces Catalan rivals Espanyol on Thursday. If Los Blancos succeed in defeating Mallorca, they will pass the championship to their opponents.Real Madrid will still be eager to finish with a strong set of results in their final three games against Mallorca, Sevilla, and Real Sociedad, even though the title may be fading and Carlo Ancelotti, who is set to leave to become Brazil's new head coach, needs a fitting send-off at the Santiago Bernabeu. Xabi Alonso will be the one to pave the way for this.

Teams Preview
Before Sergi Darder scored the game-winning goal to move up to ninth place and tie Rayo Vallecano for eighth place with 47 points, Jagoba Arrasate's team had to come from behind to win all three points against the team that is currently in the bottom spot in La Liga. However, Omar Mascarell was able to cancel out Chuki's early opener.
An eighth-place finish and qualification for the Conference League would be a significant success for Arrasate in his first season as the manager of Mallorca. However, he may be dreaming for participation in the Europa League with only two points separating his team from Celta Vigo, who is now in seventh place.Due to the fact that Mallorca has lost five of their previous eight away matches, including three of their most recent four by a score of 1-0, it is unfortunate that two of their final three matches will be played away from their home stadium. This will not instill confidence in the team.These stats, which are only lower than those of Getafe and Real Sociedad, assist to explain why Mallorca has been unable to score in eight of their seventeen La Liga away games this season.
