Since the Argentine’s arrival, the Mallorcan side has flipped the switch: three wins, one draw, and just one loss to climb to 15th place. With an unstoppable Muriqi surpassing Samuel Eto’o’s record, the Son Moix team is enjoying its best moment in La Liga.

Martín Demichelis keeps showing that he didn’t come to Spain to go unnoticed. This Sunday, his Mallorca took a huge step toward survival by thrashing Rayo Vallecano 3-0. The win is no isolated result: it comes right after beating Real Madrid, confirming that the team has fully understood the message of the Albiceleste coach.

“When I arrived, I said we were playing a 12-match tournament. In our internal table, we’ve taken 10 points out of 15,” Micho said proudly in the press conference. And the numbers back him up: he took over a sinking team and now has it in 15th place with 34 points, two points clear of the danger line set by Elche.

Muriqi, the hero who surpassed Eto’o

The afternoon at Son Moix had an extra historic twist. Vedat Muriqi bagged a brace and reached 55 goals in a Mallorca shirt, surpassing the historic mark of club icon Samuel Eto’o.

  1. Chasing Mbappé: With his two goals today, the striker is now just two goals behind Kylian Mbappé in the season’s top scorers chart.
  2. The coach’s praise: “His 55 goals don’t reflect the humility and heart he shows with everyone,” Demichelis said of his star man.

What’s next for Mallorca

Despite the euphoria of climbing out of the relegation zone, Demichelis is keeping his feet on the ground. “We’re in a better situation than yesterday, but a worse one than tomorrow, because we have to go after Valencia,” he said. The objective is clear: keep picking up points so that the ghost of the second division finally becomes a thing of the past.

Demichelis has found his place in the world: in Palma de Mallorca, people are already talking about his “12-match tournament,” and the team is responding with football and goals.
