Mallorca may decide the league's fate against Real

Mallorca coach Gregorio Manzano was unhappy with Ramon Calderon's celebrations after Real Madrid's draw with Real Zaragoza, believing they were disrespectful to his club.

A last-gasp strike by Ruud van Nistelrooy gave Real a 2-2 draw and ensured Los Meringues will be heading into the last Primera Liga match as favorites to claim the title for the first time in four years.

The precious draw sparked wild celebrations as every Real player rushed into the pitch full of joy, just like president Calderon who didn't hide his delight.

However, Real have to realize that they have a tough game ahead of them on Sunday, Manzano insists.

"It was an inappropriate emotional conduct from a president who forgot that he is a president and acted like a fan," Manzano was quoted as saying by Spanish daily Marca.

Manzano has also insisted that Mallorca will do their best to win at Santiago Bernabeu, where they enjoy a fine record, to produce a fair-play attitude not to earn the reported incentive payments.

It has been reported in the Spanish media that Real's league rivals Barcelona will pay Mallorca money to get a victory that may hand the Catalan giants their third successive title.
