Answer

Why did Real Mallorca lose 0-3 to Atlético Madrid?

Real Mallorca struggled to cope with Atlético’s pressure, especially in central areas and during transitions after winning the ball. The match also exposed problems defending set pieces, which played a part in the own goal and the late third goal. Leo Román prevented the scoreline from becoming even heavier with several saves.
