Jacobo Ramon’s dramatic 95th-minute winner for Real Madrid against Mallorca has delayed Barcelona’s La Liga title celebrations by at least another day.
Hansi Flick’s Barcelona were just moments away from being crowned champions without even kicking a ball. But Ramon’s late strike at the Santiago Bernabéu, effectively the final kick of the match, snatched a 2-1 win for Madrid and kept their slim title hopes alive.
Barcelona, needing just two points from their final three games to secure the league title, will have another chance to clinch it when they face Espanyol at 20:30 BST on Thursday.
Mallorca stunned the home crowd early when Martin Valjent rifled in a low strike to give the visitors the lead in Madrid. The hosts dominated possession and created numerous chances, but wasteful finishing nearly cost them.
Kylian Mbappe eventually drew Real level with a powerful low effort, but the pressure continued to mount as Real struggled to convert further opportunities. It wasn’t until the final moments that Jacobo Ramon capitalized on poor Mallorca defending to volley home from close range and complete the comeback.
