Vacation and football drama: Mallorca fans experience turbulent game!

Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, 07010 Palma, Spanien - Vacation in Mallorca not only offers relaxation, but also passion for football. From May 16 to 2025, three German football fans accompanied this sporting aspect of their journey, each accompanied loyalities in Borussia Dortmund, Schalke 04 and Heidenheim. This weekend not only the last Bundesliga matchday took place, but also a well-expected home game of the RCD Mallorca in the La Liga. The stay spontaneously led her to the "Estati Mallorca Son Moix", where they acquired tickets for around 60 euros per person.

The game that Mallorca did against Getafe was of great importance for both teams. Mallorca, currently in tenth place, fought only one point behind the coveted European Cup places, while Getafe argued against relegation. The stadium, which offers space for around 23,000 spectators, was well filled in this game. Before the kick -off, the fans experienced a spectacular supporting program with disguised people and music.

The game and the reactions of the fans

The course of the game that day was not as hoped for the supporters of the RCD Mallorca. The team lost 1-2 against Getafe. This defeat caused resentment among fans, who loudly expressed their dissatisfaction. In particular, the Mallorca ultras sometimes criticized and insulted not only their own team, but also other fans. Even Cyle Larin, who scored a connecting goal in added time, was booed.

The disappointed viewers criticized the club, in particular the sporting development and the supposed distance between the club and its followers. Andy Kohlberg, the American club owner, is in the fire line of the critics because his decisions are not well received by fans. Journalist Tomeu Maura even predicts a "big bang" at the RCD Mallorca, while players like Pablo Maffeo and Samu Costa provide additional restlessness through speculation about possible changes.

a turbulent club history

The RCD Mallorca, the oldest professional football club on the Balearic Islands, was founded in 1916 and has a eventful history. The club experienced its first heyday in the late 1990s and early 2000s when he finished third in the La Liga in 1999 and won the prestigious Copa del Rey in 2003. After financial difficulties, however, the association slipped into the Segunda División in 2013 and even reached the third division in 2017.

The return of the association to La Liga in 2019 under coach Vicente Moreno with successive ascents. Prevented descents and the return to the highest Spanish league in 2021 underline the upswing that the club has been striving for since then. By 2025, Mallorca will be targeting a placement for European competitions, which is to be supported by investing in young talents and clever transfers. Mallorca remains a team that is known for his defensive discipline and organization and uses the passionate atmosphere in the Estati Mallorca Son Moix to inspire your own supporters.

Overall, the stay of the German fans shows both the challenges and the potential of the RCD Mallorca. Despite the defeat against Getafe, there is hope for positive sporting development and perhaps soon European dreams for the historic club from Mallorca.
