Real Madrid Confidencial The Image That Wasn't Seen from Madrid - Mallorca: Ancelotti's Assistant in the Brawl
Llopis got into the brawl to separate Mallorca players from Asencio until Morlanes says something that transforms him
Real Madrid beat Mallorca 3-0 in the Spanish Supercopa semifinal held in Saudi Arabia. Despite the result, the game wasn't without tension, especially in the final stretch, where a brawl caught everyone's attention.
The game was already heated. Vinícius and Maffeo had several clashes during the game. However, after the final whistle, the situation escalated.
Ugly ending
Several Mallorca players surrounded Raúl Asencio, which forced other figures to intervene. Luis Llopis, Real Madrid's goalkeeping coach, was one of the first to reach the center of the conflict.
Llopis tried to separate the Mallorca players surrounding Asencio. As seen in the videos, up to three Mallorca players confronted the forward, prompting the quick reaction of the Madrid coach.
Upon his arrival, Llopis sought to calm things down, but something went wrong. Morlanes, Mallorca's midfielder, allegedly said something that sparked the white coach's anger.
Although it's not known exactly what words were used, cameras captured how Llopis had to be restrained by other members of the coaching staff.
The changing room very united
Rüdiger and Courtois quickly appeared to support their teammate and put an end to the situation. Both showed their authority to dissolve the confrontation. The presence of the German center-back and the Belgian goalkeeper was key to calming those involved.
The scuffle didn't go unnoticed by the fans. On social media, many praised the intervention of Llopis, Rüdiger, and Courtois. The unity of the Madrid group in tense situations was also highlighted.
On the other hand, Vinícius was the focus of criticism and applause after his duel with Maffeo. The Brazilian, who was very active throughout the match, received constant fouls from the Mallorca defender. Despite this, Vinícius was key in the victory, participating in the goal plays.
Real Madrid is now preparing for the Super Cup final, while Mallorca returns with controversy in tow. The image of Luis Llopis confronting Morlanes and defending his team adds to the memorable moments of a match that had it all.
