Rubén Baraja’s squad faced a setback in Mallorca and entered the final days without a clear confirmation of their consistency.
Real Mallorca earned a win by defeating a disjointed Valencia side in a second-half surge. After the break, Kang-in Lee moved higher up the pitch with Jaume Costa entering the fray, and the home team grew into the contest, finding ways to threaten the black and white lineup while maintaining a rhythm that kept Valencia from finding momentum.

In a defensive lapse, Valencia allowed Kang-in Lee space along the right flank to become the decisive figure. He delivered a precise ball to Vedat Muriqi in front of goal, and the Kosovan finished calmly between Gaya and Paulista. The Korean kept his team moving despite fatigue in the first half, shifting from the left wing to press Valencia who threw their attacking pieces forward but struggled to threaten with danger. Only a brilliant strike from Justin Kluivert altered the balance late in the match, while Pedrag Rajkovi superbly denied Valencia a late equalizer.
The Vermilions secured three points and moved to 11th place, surpassing Rayo Vallecano in the standings and closing the gap to the UEFA Conference League position, though Athletic Club’s result remained uncertain. Valencia, meanwhile, sits two points above the drop zone, with four teams beneath them in the 18th spot.
