MADRID, April 14 — Aurelien Tchouameni’s long-range strike earned Real Madrid a 1-0 victory over Mallorca yesterday that kept them eight points clear of Barcelona at the top of La Liga ahead of the upcoming Clasico.

The France midfielder, who is suspended for the second leg of Madrid’s Champions League quarter-final away to Manchester City next week, scored three minutes into the second half with a deflected 25-metre drive.
