It is getting increasingly difficult for Madrid's "Atletico" team to defend the title of Spain champions. Immediately, Diego Simeone's disciples unexpectedly stumbled at home against a team that only returned to the "La Liga" championship this year. "Matracai" lost 1:2 to the "Mallorca" team. There were no goals in the first half, but in the second half, in the 68th minute, "Atletico" took the lead after a precise shot by Matheus Cunha. However, at the end of the match, the Spanish champions completely collapsed. In the 80th minute, "Mallorca" defender Marco Russo equalized the score, and during extra time, the Mallorca team extended their victory thanks to the "Real" team's borrowed forward Takefusa Kubo. Depending on the outcome of the match between "Real Sociedad" and Madrid's "Real", "Atletico" may fall outside the top four after this defeat.
