Mallorca/PSG – Opponent profile: relegated to the second tier | OneFootball

This Wednesday, August 5, Paris Saint-Germain take on Mallorca at the San Moix Stadium (kick-off at 9pm, live on beIN SPORTS and PSG TV Premium) in a friendly match. And as before every game, here is a presentation of the Parisians’ opponent.

Mallorca’s situation –

RCD Mallorca, founded in 1916, are a club accustomed to going back and forth between La Liga and the Spanish second division, always with a modest budget. There had been a bit of stability from 2021 onward, which was beneficial, but the 2025-2026 season ended in relegation after finishing 18th in the league. It was a disappointing campaign that led to changes, particularly in the coaching position. Coach Luis Garcia arrived this summer from Las Palmas with the mission of securing promotion.

Mallorca’s style of play.

After relegation to the second division and the arrival of new coach Luis Garcia, Mallorca are rebuilding. It is difficult to be certain about anything. We can still expect a typically Spanish style, very technical. Possibly some pressing as well, even if that is always risky against PSG. It is a friendly, and the main thing is to work on the playing philosophy and fitness. Even if that means taking risks. So we can hope to see a relatively open match, even if the intensity cannot be at its highest in the middle of pre-season preparation.
