On May 14, 2025, at 21:30 CET, Real Madrid hosted Mallorca on Matchday 36 of the La Liga 2024/25 season. With the title race entering its final stretch, few expected the game to turn into a statistical outlier — but what unfolded at the Bernabéu was nothing short of extraordinary.
In a match that redefined attacking persistence, Real Madrid delivered a statistical masterclass against Mallorca, registering an astonishing 26 corner kicks — a figure that could very well be a record in Europe’s top five leagues. For context, most teams don’t reach that number in three games, let alone 90 minutes.
90 minutes ÷ 26 corners = 1 corner every 3.46 minutes
In other words: Real Madrid earned a corner roughly every 208 seconds.
The final 11 corners came in the last 15 minutes of the match alone — a jaw-dropping rate of nearly one corner every 82 seconds. That’s not football — that’s full-blown siege warfare.
Mallorca, on the other hand, ended the game with 0 corners, a stat that earns them a place in the infamous collection of games without a single corner. Their 28% possession, 4 total shots, and passive buildup gave Real complete control of every phase.
Let’s talk numbers: 26 corners in 90 minutes means an average of one every 3.46 minutes. That ranks among the highest corner counts ever recorded in a professional match. To put that into perspective, the typical corner average per team hovers around 4–6 per game.
The relentless offensive pressure is also reflected in the full stat profile, which shows Real Madrid completing 609 passes at 92% accuracy, compared to Mallorca’s 216 at 77%. With 74 touches in the opposition box and 0 accurate through balls needed to overwhelm the defense, Real relied purely on sustained pressure and wide overloads.
For anyone tracking corner trends, this match is gold. It feeds right into ongoing patterns like those found in the Corner Streaks & Trends section — a must-watch for betting analysts and football stat nerds alike.
In the end, Mbappé’s equalizer and Ramon’s late winner sealed the result.
