REAL Mallorca quickly put Sunday night's thumping 2-1 Super Cup first leg defeat of Real Madrid behind as they gathered for training in preparation for tomorrow night's return leg at the Bernabeu. Neither club were making a song and dance about the result yesterday, Real Madrid's Casillas and Cambiasso claim that Madrid were not ready for the game, but their home leg will be a different match all together. Apart from Madrid playing their first home game in front of the home fans, Mallorca could be missing the player who proved crucial on Sunday night, Ariel Ibagaza. The Argentine international took control of Sunday's game, but his transfer to Atletico Madrid looks complete and there are doubts about whether he will be with Mallorca tomorrow. Sources for Atletico Madrid said that the player was discussing tomorrow night's game with Mallorca, “it's up to him if he wants to play his last game, win some silverware and leave the club on a high,” Atletico sources said. Mallorca coach Jaime Pacheco praised his players yesterday and said that he wants them to play with the same attitude as they did on Sunday in every game. Despite the ups and downs and comings and goings at Real Mallorca, Pacheco managed to put together a competent side which surprised Madrid and pleased the fans. Eto'o started the season as he finished the last one, scoring goals and new Dutch signing Arnold Bruggink scored Mallorca's first on his debut for the club. Pacheco said he had a surprise in store for Madrid and he wasn't wrong.
