The experienced centre-forward struck on 91 minutes to earn Mallorca a 2-1 at Son Moix.
The moment left Muriqi welling up and he later explained, "Yes, because it's been two weeks... Although from the outside I seem very ugly and tough, I'm also human and sometimes emotions and nerves get the better of me.
"I've just missed a penalty in the 92nd minute, then lost a final to go to the World Cup and fulfill the biggest dream of my life. Here, it was 1-0 and then a tie in the 88th minute and suddenly, a goal, a great goal, winning 2-1, with my goal..."
He added, "When you do the calculations before the game, even playing at home, you give yourself against Real Madrid a zero, you have to be honest.
"Getting three points means we played a good match, we've done good work this week. Now we have more games against Rayo Vallecano and Valencia, and hopefully we can get six points."
