Real Madrid lacked 'commitment, attitude' in Mallorca draw #realmadrid #mallorcafc

Carlo Ancelotti slammed his Real Madrid team's "attitude" and "collective commitment" after the LaLiga champions were held to a 1-1 draw at Mallorca in their opening game of the 2024-25 season.Rodrygo put Madrid ahead in the 13th minute at Son Moix -- after a passing move involving Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior -- before Vedat Muriqi levelled for Mallorca with a second-half header.Madrid couldn't find a late winning goal, and defender Ferland Mendy was sent off in added time, leaving coach Ancelotti frustrated."In the second half we lacked balance," Ancelotti said in his postmatch news conference. "We gave away counterattacks, crosses. It wasn't a good game. We have to defend better, and above all have more balance on the pitch."Today we're not happy. I don't want to give excuses. We just had to do better, with more attitude. But we can learn a lot from this game, it was clear where we had problems."
