In a few moments we will share with you the starting lineups for Mallorca vs Real Madrid as well as the latest information from the Visit Mallorca Estadi. Keep an eye on the match with VAVEL's minute-by-minute live online coverage.
"Mallorca is a team that enjoys counterattacks, they defend very well. They are solid. Handling the ball well will be a key. In the últimos games we have done well, we lack ó win to Real Sociedad. But we are recovering the good feelings and you can see that the team is better. Injuries have hit us and that is unpredictable, but the team is better. We are working more on recovery than on the physical aspect. Because there is hardly any time to train. We focus on evaluating fatigue and that's why the work of the physios is more important than that of the trainer. And if you are a Catholic, praying is good for you. It does not seem right to me that we play less than 72 hours later"
