Sunday’s defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona was quite humiliating for Real Madrid, but now one of their archrivals of recent years has joined in: Mallorca defender Pablo Maffeo.
During Mallorca’s training session on Tuesday, Maffeo was caught pointing at the 5-2 score to cameras around the complex, one of which was operated by Esports IB3.
❓Coincidence or not…

Maffeo has clashed with Real Madrid players, and especially Vinicius Junior, on multiple occasions over the last 2 or 3 years. He was again at the center of a fight during last week’s Spanish Super Cup semi-final match between the two teams; After that he was tormented, so he took the opportunity to retreat.
There is scheduled to be one more meeting between Real Madrid and Mallorca this season, which will take place at the Santiago Bernabéu in May. Maffeo is likely involved, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he was a target again on that occasion.
