Real Madrid came from behind to secure a 2–1 victory over Mallorca thanks to the individual skill of Vinícius Júnior, Arda Güler and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The pressure was on Los Blancos to muster a strong response after going down 1–0 in the first half to a Mallorca side that has yet to win a game this season. The Santiago Bernabéu waited for the superstars in white to take over the game, and that’s exactly what they did.
Arda Güler, who has found himself a permanent place in Xabi Alonso’s XI, headed home the hosts’ equalizer in the 37th minute before Vinícius Júnior put Real Madrid up 2–1 just one minute later. Then, it was Alexander-Arnold who came up huge in the second half to protect his side’s lead and ultimately secure all three points.
Here’s three takeaways from Real Madrid’s third La Liga victory of the season.
