Mallorca defeats Real Madrid amid ongoing rivalry between Maffeo and Vinicius
On Saturday, Mallorca secured a 2-1 victory against Real Madrid in a La Liga match. The game was marked by renewed on-field tension between Mallorca defender Pablo Maffeo and Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior. According to footage aired by Movistar, the two players exchanged verbal insults throughout the match. After Vinicius executed a dribble, Maffeo reportedly attempted a hard tackle. Vinicius allegedly shouted, 'I will kill you,' to which Maffeo responded by calling the forward a 'crybaby' and suggesting he was better suited for the beach.

No official disciplinary actions or official statements regarding the verbal altercation have been released by either club at this time.
