Los Blancos to Host RCD Mallorca in Matchday 36 of La Liga
Real Madrid will face Mallorca this Wednesday at 9:30 PM, in a challenging fixture where the motivation lies in maintaining momentum despite the league already being decided. Within the Madridista camp, conversations have shifted from the remaining games to Carlo Ancelotti’s imminent departure and the possible arrival of Xabi Alonso. Since El Clasico, the atmosphere hasn’t been the most favorable, and the Santiago Bernabéu is expected to play a key role in the final stretch of the season.
Carlo Ancelotti, already confirmed as the next coach of Brazil, is preparing to bid farewell to Real Madrid. He leaves as the most decorated coach in the club’s history, with 15 titles, although recent results have left a slightly bitter taste. Still, he will be given a farewell worthy of his stature. But the coach has two more games left before he leaves, starting with the match against Mallorca.
