Martín Demichelis made his coaching debut in Europe with a challenging match against Osasuna, where he initially celebrated a promising 2-0 lead thanks to a brace from Vedat Muriqi. However, the match took a disappointing turn when Osasuna scored two late goals, ultimately equalizing the game at 2-2. This result not only dampened Demichelis' initial hopes but also left Mallorca firmly in the relegation zone, continuing their fight for survival in La Liga.

The match was particularly frustrating for Demichelis, as it showcased both the strengths and vulnerabilities of his team. Mallorca seemed on track for a much-needed victory that would have provided a boost in confidence and possibly helped them escape the relegation zone. Instead, the late collapse highlights issues that must be addressed as they look to improve their standing in the league moving forward.

As this was Demichelis' first experience in the European coaching landscape, the result is a significant moment that will shape his early tenure. The ability to maintain leads and manage matches effectively is crucial in top-flight football, and the disappointment of allowing two late goals may serve as a harsh lesson for the coach and his squad as they prepare for the challenges ahead in La Liga.
