Shocking fact about Real Madrid-Real Mallorca, nothing like this has been seen in 25 years

Real Madrid claimed victory against all odds at Santiago Bernabéu. The match against Real Mallorca was one where only a win would suffice, as the point difference with FC Barcelona required them to add three points. Carlo Ancelotti's players tried everything until the end.

One of the signs of this dynamic was the goal scored by Jacobo Ramón in the last play of the match. The second half of the clash at the merengue coliseum was a true siege on Leo Román's goal, who had effectively kept the vermilion team in the first half. The goalkeeper was an active participant in the match, making more than ten saves.

Most of those interventions ended up going out over the end line, granting Real Madrid a corner kick. The pressure exerted by the merengue strikers caused stress in Real Mallorca's defense, which also worked hard to clear balls and cancel attacks... sending them to the corner kick.

This dynamic was kept throughout the entire match until it produced an unexpected record. Real Madrid took up to 26 corner kicks in the match against Real Mallorca, while the Balearic sports discipline never had that opportunity during the 95 minutes. This record breaks another really old entry that occurred more than a quarter of a century ago.

Incredible but true

The 26 corner kicks taken by Real Madrid in their match against Real Mallorca stand as the record for corner kicks in favor. The fact that the visiting team didn't get any of those set-piece plays only appears in matches from the 20th century, the past century, as indicated by Mr Chip. The analyst provides even more data that makes what the merengue squad achieved spectacular.

Because those 26 corners in favor, with none against, represent a unique case among the "9,317 La Liga matches played in the 21st century". In 25 years, no one had achieved what the team coached by Carlo Ancelotti did, clearly needing the victory to extend the possibility of being champions by one more day.

Real Madrid sets a new record that surpasses the mark from the last century. Once again, the version of the 'Real Madrid of records' reappears, which has been kept in the background this season. Not in vain, the irregular performance of the first team hasn't allowed many concessions in that regard.

The goal of the Madrid entity is to recover as soon as possible the winning path that seems to have been lost this season. Not only through the signings planned for the next summer market but with other modifications such as a change of coach, tactical system, and set plays.
