Mallorca on brink of relegation

RCD Mallorca go into the last round of the LaLiga season in the relegation zone after losing 2-0 at Levante on May 18, leaving the club’s survival bid dependent on the final weekend. Mallorca’s official website shows the team 19th with 39 points from 37 matches, one point behind Girona in 18th and three behind Elche and Osasuna on 42. Futbolred reported on May 20 that the pressure around the club had spilled into protests and demands for resignations as the threat of relegation to Spain’s second division grew. The report framed the crisis around Colombia international Johan Mojica, but Mallorca’s own recent coverage points more directly to a broader fight for permanencia, or survival, with one match left. (rcdmallorca.es) ### How bad is Mallorca’s position going into the last day? Mallorca’s official standings page shows only one team below them: Real Oviedo, already on 29 points. Girona sit 18th on 40 points, which means Mallorca begin the final day outside safety and needing at least one result elsewhere to help if they are to stay up. The club’s 2025-26 fixture list shows Mallorca have taken one point from their last three league matches: a 1-1 home draw with Villarreal, then losses at Getafe and Levante. (futbolred.com) That late slide has pushed them back into immediate danger after earlier spring wins over Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano and Girona had lifted them clear. ### What triggered the latest anger from supporters? (rcdmallorca.es) Futbolred said supporters were calling for changes in the boardroom and reacting to what it described as an “inminente descenso,” or looming relegation. The report said the mood worsened with one round still to play and linked the unrest to a disappointing season. (rcdmallorca.es) Mallorca’s own website has acknowledged the stakes in plainer terms. In a recent club post ahead of the final two matches, Mallorca said fans were preparing to back the team in the fight for survival, and after the Levante defeat the site carried post-match material from coach Martín Demichelis rather than any declaration that safety had been secured. ### Is Johan Mojica actually the coach in this story? (futbolred.com) Martín Demichelis, not Johan Mojica, is Mallorca’s head coach. Futbolred itself reported in February that Demichelis had been presented as Mallorca’s new manager in a bid to save the club from relegation. Mojica is a Colombia international left back who has featured prominently in coverage because of his role in the team and recent incidents around results. (rcdmallorca.es) Futbolred also reported on May 18 that Mojica was sent off in the defeat to Levante after an altercation, adding another flashpoint to a tense relegation fight. A separate Futbolred report on May 10 said Mojica had left the Villarreal match with a muscular problem. ### What does Mallorca need on Saturday? (futbolred.com) Saturday, May 23, is the last chance. Mallorca host Real Oviedo at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix at 9:00 p.m. local time, according to the club’s match page and ticket notice. The table published on Mallorca’s official site makes the arithmetic straightforward: Mallorca start one point behind Girona. (futbolred.com) Any survival scenario therefore begins with Mallorca trying to beat Oviedo and then needing results in the other relegation places to fall their way. Final standings and match updates are available on club and LaLiga match hubs. (rcdmallorca.es 1) (rcdmallorca.es 2)
