Atlético Baleares beat Real Madrid II 2:0 in a Club Friendly on Thursday evening. The result came at the start of the 2026-27 preparation period for both sides.
Real Madrid II had been finding results difficult of late. They lost 1:0 to Zamora on Wednesday and drew 2:2 with Ponferradina before that. Prior to that came a goalless draw against Mirandés and another 2:2 against Racing Ferrol. Only their match against Deportivo La Coruña II had gone their way, 1:0 on the 5th of August.
Atlético Baleares showed more consistency in their own warm-up. They beat Mallorca B 3:1 on the 15th, then lost 1:0 to Poblensose. Before that they had won 2:1 against Mallorca B again on the 25th of July. Two defeats against Real Jaén followed in May, both 1:2.
With no detailed breakdown of the match available, the scoreline speaks for itself. Two goals without reply, and Real Madrid II found no answer to the visitors' approach. The academy side paid for a sloppy opening, as they had against Zamora just one day earlier.
For Atlético Baleares this gives them momentum heading into the competitive season. Two wins from their last three friendlies, and they kept a clean sheet against a side with more resources. Real Madrid II will need to tighten up if they want to avoid repeating the pattern of conceding goals and finding no response.
