I thought I was the only one because everyone around me seemed caught up in the panic, and several of them told me to shut up. I presume that at least some of them thought we needed a 2 goal win to be able to go through at all, rather than just to go through that night.

Well, I've now heard from a couple of other people who were yelling the same message. But the funny thing is, it's been reported in the Spanish press (thanks go to Tony Porter for translating the Marca article) that the Mallorca players didn't realise the situation either.

At 2-1 down, they thought they were mathematically out of the competition already, because they didn't realise that the order would be decided on the head-to-head results if we and they finished level on overall points (should have been reading ArseWeb!).

Because of this, they were going hell-for-leather for an equaliser. So their thinking that there was no difference between 2-1 and 3-1 helped give us the chance to get that 3rd goal and put them out for definite.
