“Last year we didn’t change or rotate the squad much. But when the Champions League starts we rotate the squad more.” Ancelotti said.
“Talking about defensively, we didn’t do well. We had problems with pressing after losing the ball. We have to improve in that area. We’re talking about the attitude and responsibility of the team.
“We started well, but it wasn’t a good game. We need to defend better, And we need to be more balanced. We’ve said it before. We’re an offensive team, so we need to be very balanced.”
Despite Madrid’s relentless push, Mallorca held firm to secure a draw. Becoming the first team since the 2020/21 season to avoid defeat against Real Madrid in an opening LaLiga match.
