Jorge D'Alessandro's face was a picture; he was stunned by Jacobo's goal.

Real Madrid surprised in the current league matchday after defeating Real Mallorca in a comeback as unexpected as it was spectacular. Martin Valjent's goal complicated the white club's options in the current league campaign, but the goals by Kylian Mbappé and Jacobo Ramón add pressure to FC Barcelona. Hansi Flick's players must win if they want to solve the LaLiga debate this very matchday.

Meanwhile, as that match arrives at the RCDE Stadium, Jacobo Ramón's goal has provoked all kinds of reactions and comments. Besides its protagonist, a central defender from La Fábrica who has barely had minutes this season, because of the moment it arrived. Everything seemed set for FC Barcelona to become league champions without having to play against Espanyol.

That possibility, completely nullified by the '31' Madridist's goal, would have affected Jorge d'Alessandro. The former goalkeeper and commentator of 'El Chiringuito de Jugones' closely followed the match at Santiago Bernabéu and watched alertly the development of the second merengue goal. With a serious face, his expression didn't change when Jacobo Ramón overcame Leo Román's resistance.

Meanwhile, Alfredo Duro narrated the goal scored by the Madridist youth player, while madness broke out at Santiago Bernabéu, Jorge d'Alessandro offered his version of the play. "It seems like it's offside, doesn't it?", the commentator noted about a possible infraction... which Pablo Maffeo nullified with his early and misguided celebration after the previous clearance by Real Mallorca's defense.

impossible to foresee

Pablo Maffeo's poor position in the visiting team's area prevented the correct execution of the offside 'trap', giving validity to the goal in the entirety of the play. Jorge d'Alessandro kept very alert to the decision of Alberola Rojas and Figueroa Vázquez, waiting for an offside verdict that never came.

Faced with the celebration of the Madridists who were also following the match on the live broadcast, Jorge d'Alessandro forced a circumstantial smile that disappeared as soon as the replay was shown. Not in vain, the former Argentine goalkeeper reviewed the action carefully in search of the offside he himself had suggested as a possible reason for the goal's annulment.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Jacobo Ramón's goal ended up on the scoreboard in the last play of the match despite Jorge d'Alessandro to whom it "seems like it's offside, doesn't it?". With that goal, Real Madrid's league aspirations are kept alive, at least until the result of the match between Espanyol and FC Barcelona is confirmed.

Jorge d'Alessandro's reaction to Jacobo Ramón's goal is the true reflection of the tension in the final stretch of the current league campaign. Despite Real Madrid's defeat in the Montjuïc Clásico, there is still a slim chance for the white team to work the miracle and become champions this season.
