Guti, Iker, and Sneijder

"We're already mentally preparing our next match against Murcia"

Two of Real Madrid's captains and tonight's goal-scorer gave their impressions of the draw against Mallorca.

Guti:

“Leaving ONO Estadi with one point is extremely positive being that Mallorca isn't an easy rival, especially after playing the last half hour a man down. The sending off was the turning point, but it's no excuse.”

Iker Casillas:

“Sergio Ramos being sent off changed the match. We salvaged an important point with ten men. Sergio has a temper but always puts the team first. I don't think he deserved the second yellow, but it's the referee's call. We can't complain, but we did have to fall back with only ten men on the pitch. One point away from home is okay.”

Wesley Sneijder:

“I am happy to have scored. It was important for me, but Robben deserves some of the credit after that great play. I am pleased for the both of us. It was a difficult match. We know how hard it is to leave here with points, and even more so playing a man down. We can be satisfied with the result taking Ramos' red card into consideration. I'm not sure about the second yellow, though. I think there were too many bookings, but we don't ever talk about the referee. We have to move forward as a team. There are seven matches left which are all finals. I know we can do it. Best of all, our next match is at home against Murcia, so I am sure we can do well will our fans behind us.”

Player Ratings: Real Mallorca 1-1 Real Madrid

Real Madrid were out-fought at the ONO Estadi and, when reduced to 10 men, were lucky to escape with the draw. Goal.com analyses the individual performances...

Casillas - 7: Did everything he could with all the balls that came his way. One fine reaction save to stop an unfortunate deflection going in. Powerless to stop the goal.

Ramos - 6: Unlucky to be sent off for an alleged second bookable offense but, uncharacteristically, had a shaky game. His energy was an asset, but his final product was lacking.

Cannavaro - 7.5: Well, things are looking promising for Cannavaro, finally. Madrid's best player on the night, his positioning was on-point and though Madrid's defence was unlocked by the goal, it's not something that can be blamed on the Italian or any other individual.

Heinze - 6.5: At times he had the energy and awareness that was reminiscent of last week and the week before's performances, but today, quite like Ramos, he showed the most uncertain side of his game and almost proved to be a liabiliry at times.

Marcelo - 6.5: A quiet game, and he will probably be happy with that. Was caught out a few times in the first half but made amends on all occasions. Willing to fight more in a defensive capacity these days. Slowly improving.

Guti - 5.5: Not good enough. It was another one of those days for Guti. There was the odd inspired pass, but he proved to be a liability in midfield. Not a scrapper, so that was not expected, but with no significant muscle backing him up, his lack of work rate in particular was exposed.

Gago - 7: Madrid's best mdifielder. Did all the little things right and attempted the odd extravagant pass, none of which came off. Showed good energy and was as strong as he could be in the challenge.

Sneijder - 6.5: His goal saves his score without question. Dreadful set-pieces; looked quite promising when running with the ball but his passing and shooting left quite a lot to be desired. Was last week a one-off?

Higuain - 5: Thoroughly underwhelming. Like Sneijder, can look okay when on the ball and running but his end product is found wanting.

Raul - 6: Put in a decent showing, but there was very little service and when he drifted deep he did have much of an influence as it was often overcrowded.

Robben - 7: Promising. Did magnificently to set up the first goal and he was a genuine wide threat, something Madrid had lacked all game.

Substitutes: Diarra - 6, Torres - n/a, Baptista - n/a
