Real Madrid staged a late comeback to keep their faint La Liga title aspirations alive with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night. Trailing for much of the match, Los Blancos found their rhythm in the second half. Crucial goals from Kylian Mbappe and Jacobo Ramon helped the home side turn the tide around and secure all three points.<\/p>
The clash with Mallorca marked Ancelotti’s penultimate appearance as Real Madrid manager at the Santiago Bernabeu. The veteran manager will then prepare to transition into his new role as Brazil’s national team coach at the end of the season. Reflecting on the occasion, Ancelotti was visibly emotional. He said, <\/p>
\n“Whenever I sit on the bench at the Bernabeu it has been special, like all of them. But I leave with the tranquillity and serenity of having done what I have been able to do, that my teams try to win until the last minute, as we do at Real Madrid.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>
