Real Madrid Draws 1-1 in La Liga Opener

In Real Madrid's disappointing 1-1 draw against Mallorca in their La Liga opener, Jude Bellingham expressed frustration with his teammates Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., and Rodrygo for not finishing their attacking chances. During halftime, Bellingham urged the trio to be more decisive, stating, 'We need to finish the attack because running back is tough,' a sentiment that Mbappe echoed. Despite Bellingham's leadership, the team struggled to maintain their lead, with Mallorca equalizing shortly after the break. Manager Carlo Ancelotti criticized the team's lack of balance and defensive commitment, emphasizing the need for collective effort. The match ended on a sour note for Real as Ferland Mendy received a red card, compounding their frustration. This result marked the first time in four years that Real Madrid failed to win their opening league game.
