Aurelien Tchouameni struck early in the second half to give Real Madrid a 1-0 win at Mallorca in LaLiga on Saturday as they rested key players ahead of their Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City.
Real dominated proceedings and Tchouameni scored in the 48th minute with a thunderous shot from way outside the penalty area that beat lunging keeper Predrag Rajkovic.
The win lifted Real to 78 points, 11 ahead of bitter rivals Barcelona, whom they host in an 'El Clasico' match at the Santiago Bernabeu next weekend.
