Real Madrid’s Jacobo Ramon scored in the fifth minute of stoppage time to earn them a 2-1 LaLiga win over Mallorca on Wednesday that kept Barcelona’s title-winning champagne on ice.

While Madrid have two games remaining, they are four points behind leaders Barca, who have a game in hand and will claim their 28th LaLiga title on Thursday if they beat city rivals Espanyol.

An angled strike from inside the box by defender Martin Valjent in the 11th minute gave Mallorca the lead in a dour match at a half-empty Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

Kylian Mbappé levelled with a fine individual effort in the 68th minute for a depleted Real, who were missing 12 players due to injuries and wasted several chances. It was the France striker’s 28th goal of the season in LaLiga and 40th across all competitions.

Mallorca weathered a storm as Madrid pushed for a winner, with goalkeeper Leo Román producing a remarkable performance.

Yet a mistake by the visitors’ defence, who failed to clear a cross from inside the box, allowed Ramon to pounce on the ball and fire a volley into the back of the net to keep Real’s slim title hopes alive.
