“We have to draw conclusions from our pre-season, we have had some tough games, but we were able to learn lessons that will be important for the start of the season, ” said manager Julen Lopetegui. The opening round also features Villarreal away to Real Valladolid, Valencia at home to Girona, Athletic Bilbao welcoming Mallorca to the Basque region, and Atletico Madrid with a derby clash away to Getafe at Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Monday evening. No rival can compete with SuperSport’s coverage.
Both teams are tied with 68 points but Madrid is ahead on the tiebreakers. Mallorca’s 15-year-old Luka Romero, dubbed by local media as the “new Lionel Messi, ” became the youngest player to appear in a Spanish league match. The attacking midfielder — born in Mexico from Argentine parents — is a few weeks younger than Francisco “Sansón” Bao Rodríguez was when he set the record by debuting with Celta Vigo in the 1939-40 season. Romero entered the match in the 83rd minute, getting his first touch of the ball a few minutes later.
Meanwhile, Real Valladolid is hanging back in 15th place, seemingly safe from relegation at 7-13-11 (34 points). Sevilla has had a solid run of scoring this year, with Lucas Ocampos (11 goals), Youssef En-Nesyri (7 goals) and Luuk de Jong (6 goals) leading the way. On the other side, Valladoilid has be locked up in some low-scoring affairs, scoring just one coal in its last three outings. However, the club has managed to pull two draws out of that stretch. The club has scored the second-fewest goals in the league this year, but has gotten solid contributions out of Sergi Guardiola and Enes Ünal (6 goals apiece).
Mallorca complained of a foul against one of its players in the buildup that led to Vinícius Júnior opener in the 19th minute, but the goal stood after video review. The visitors claimed that Dani Carvajal made an illegal block on Dani Rodríguez to allow Madrid to regain possession and score. Vinícius Júnior found the net with a chip shot over goalkeeper Manolo Reina after a pass by Luka Modric. The non-call came after Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane spent much of the week defending his team from accusations that it was benefiting from refereeing decisions.

Madrid had video review decisions go its way in each of its first three victories after the break. “There is a lot of talk about that because we are leading, ” Ramos said. “It wasn’t like that when we weren’t up front. They make it look like we have to thank the referees for being the leaders. People shouldn’t be making up movie stories. ”Ramos scored his third goal since the league resumed with a free kick that curled over the wall in the 56th.
