Cristiano Ronaldo in Real vs Mallorca game
In the debut of coach Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid could not manage better than a goalless away draw on its first game of the Spanish league against Mallorca.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Higuain had several opportunities to score, but an extremely effective and tight Mallorca defense inspired by a great performance from Israeli goalkeeper Dudu Aouate, kept the “Merengues” in check.
Real Madrid, thus found themselves off to a bad start while their main rival Barcelona started off with a convincing 3-0 away win on the grounds of Racing Santander with goals from the inevitable Messi, Iniesta and new sign-up stricker David Villa,
Real Madrid will play the next round against Osasuna at the Bernabeu on Septemer 12.
