BARCELONA: Real Madrid visit Real Mallorca on Saturday looking to keep their La Liga plate spinning amid their enthralling Champions League battle with Premier League champions Manchester City.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side, eight points clear at the top of the table, have a difficult balancing act to pull off ahead of the second leg at the Etihad next Wednesday, after a thrilling 3-3 draw earlier this week.Taking their eye off the ball domestically could be a grave error with the Clasico approaching.
Javier Aguirre’s team, 15th, will need to turn their focus back to La Liga quickly too, sitting only six points clear of the relegation zone with eight matches remaining.If Ancelotti decides to rotate his squad to keep players sharp for the Champions League, Mallorca could profit, although the Italian has plenty of strong options in reserve.
Maffeo ended the cup final penalty defeat by Athletic in tears and Real Madrid fans quickly took to social media to remind him of his tiff with Vinicius.
