In other words, in the hierarchy of Ancelotti plants for this course there were SEIS Footballers ahead of Jacobo Ramón (seventh of the list) and Jesús Vallejo (Eighth). But such is the collapse in Madrid's nursing that the first five options were absent for Wednesday's game against Mallorca, in the case of Tchouaméni for accumulation of cards.

Gol in the last sigh
So The Jacobo-Vallejo tandem It was the only solution that Ancelotti was left while LaLiga was definitely escaping, Real Madrid unable for 94 minutes to score two goals to Mallorca in a minimum Bernabéu in the stands and thus postpone the most likely than probable alire of Barça. But since Bernabéu has become this season a asylum in which the improbable meat becomes, it was the two centrals who saved the antepenultimate ballot of 'Carletto' in Madrid.
In the 95th minute, already with Courtois hanging in the rival area, Vallejo combed back a desperate shipping towards the Arda Güler area. Copete trust and Jacobo appeared to take the delirium to those who were still in the Bernabéu and leave Barça with the cork of the cava among their fingers. “What better than a Vallejo assistance and a goal by Jacobo. It is very beautiful, because we are the ones that we are, “said Courtois, who attended the paranormal phenomenon as he ran back to his goal.
What better than a Vallejo assistance and a goal from Jacobo. It is very nice, because we are the ones who are
Jacobo and Vallejo's numbers

Vallejo went out on Wednesday to the country Vallejo has played very little but always his attitude has been 'top' in training every day. He could deserve to play but has been more complicated, “said 'Carletto' on a footballer who hurries his last days in the White Club and that against Mallorca served the first assistance of his professional career.
I really like what happened because Vallejo has played very little but always his attitude has been 'top' in training every day
“It is inexplicable. I have dreamed of this all my life,” Jacobo said, the man who appeared in all the headlines: “I would not have imagined it and more in the minute that has been. It is a huge pride and hopefully many more come. “His goal, in reality, rewarded a Real Madrid that completed a very good second part, led by Mbappé, author of the tie, and the eternal Modric.
39 auctions for only two goals
Madrid armed 39 auctions Towards the goal of an excellent Leo Román. According to OPTA data, it is the second highest record of a LaLiga club since at least, the 2003/04 season. The funny thing is that the record of 40 (shared with a Zaragoza 0 – Real Madrid 6, 2011) was achieved this same season … in front of Mallorca, In a set of adjusted result1-0. It is clear that Mallorca knows how to suffer from An extraordinary goalkeeperthat between these two games has received 79 auctions, 26 of them on the door, and only three goals.
Numbers, in any case, that only served to foster a victory that prolongs but should not change the outcome of LaLiga. Barça will be champion with two points in the three games that they have left, starting with this Thursday against Espanyol. It would also be enough for Madrid not to win one of its last two meetings. The rescue of the strange couple Jacobo-Vallejo It will remain as another anecdote of this delusional season, this week of the hidden camera at Real Madrid.
