Owen faces stiff competition to get in the Real side
|
Michael Owen has made a winning start to his Real Madrid debut, playing a key role in their 1-0 win over Mallorca.
Owen failed to make Real's starting 11 as coach Jose Antonio Camacho opted to deploy strikers Raul and Ronaldo.
But Owen did not have to wait long to get on to the pitch replacing the injured Raul on 24 minutes.
Early in the second half Owen created Real's opening goal when he crossed for Ronaldo, who chested the ball home at the far post.
