The answer

Scholars differ on whether a drop of blood is considered menstruation. The majority of scholars hold that it is not menstruation, while the Malikis consider it to be menstruation.

However, the Malikis do not consider (ritual bath) obligatory for it if it appears after purification from menstruation or postpartum bleeding; rather, only wudu (ablution) is required.

So, if ghusl was performed after purification, then only wudu is obligatory. But if it was performed before the completion of purification, then the ghusl is invalid and must be repeated.
