Andriy Lunin – 6
Lunin had a quiet first half, only called into action to retrieve the ball from his net.
Trent Alexander-Arnold – 6
Alexander-Arnold faced minimal defensive pressure. While his long passes were accurate, his final delivery generally lacked precision, except for the corner that led to Real Madrid’s sole goal, scored by Eder Militao.
Antonio Rudiger – 6.5
Rudiger impressed with a crucial goal-saving tackle in the first half and largely contained Vedat Muriqi. However, a lapse in concentration during stoppage time allowed Muriqi to score the winning goal.
Dean Huijsen – 6.5
Huijsen engaged in an intense duel with Zito Luvumbo, predominantly emerging victorious. He was substituted around the hour mark as Real Madrid pushed for an equalizer.
Alvaro Carreras – 6
Making his first start in several weeks, Carreras appeared to lack match sharpness.
Manuel Angel – 6.5
The 22-year-old Angel had a vibrant debut start, actively seeking to influence play. His 60-minute contribution was commendable.
Aurelien Tchouameni – 6.5
Tchouameni delivered a characteristic performance, dominating his defensive midfield zone but offering limited impact beyond that.
Eduardo Camavinga – 6
Camavinga battled in midfield and attempted to contribute to the attack, but ultimately achieved little success in either aspect.
Arda Guler – 7
Guler was Real Madrid’s standout performer, particularly in attack. He consistently threatened with his set-piece deliveries and displayed remarkable brightness in open play midfield.
Brahim Diaz – 6
Diaz retained his starting spot due to Vinicius Junior’s rest but failed to make a significant impact. His 76-minute presence on the field was somewhat unexpected given his performance.
Kylian Mbappe – 5.5
Mbappe squandered two clear scoring opportunities in the first half. In the second, he was largely neutralized by Mallorca’s impressive defense, receiving minimal service.
Substitutes
Vinicius Junior – 6
Vinicius Junior’s introduction undoubtedly increased Real Madrid’s attacking threat, yet he couldn’t single-handedly alter the game’s outcome.
Jude Bellingham – 6
Bellingham delivered a confident display, injecting more attacking impetus into Real Madrid’s play.
Eder Militao – 7
Militao was one of Real Madrid’s rare bright spots, making his return after five months sidelined. He even scored a goal, though it ultimately proved to be a consolation.
Thiago Pitarch – 6
Pitarch saw minimal involvement during his brief appearance.
Franco Mastantuono – 6
Mastantuono found good attacking positions a couple of times but failed to capitalize on them.
