Kylian Mbappe was left frustrated on his La Liga debut Sunday as a resilient Real Mallorca held Spanish and European champions Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw in the opening game of their title defense.
The French superstar was thwarted by Mallorca goalkeeper Dominik Greif after Rodrygo Goes sent Madrid ahead early on. The hosts levelled in the second half through Vedat Muriqi’s towering header.
Madrid’s star-studded side struggled to break down Mallorca, who came closer to winning the game in the final stages at Son Moix stadium.
