Real Madrid Crush Mallorca to Secure a Spot in The Final against Barcelona
Real Madrid left no room for surprises and secured their place in the Supercopa final after defeating Mallorca 3-0. Goals from Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, and an own goal by Martin Valjent were enough for Carlo Ancelotti's side to showcase their dominance against an opponent that barely posed a threat on the field.
From the outset, the Madrid team controlled the game with an offensive display led by Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Jr., and a standout performance by Bellingham. Early chances came swiftly, but Slovak goalkeeper Dominik Greif managed to keep the score level. Meanwhile, Mallorca struggled not only with the constant pressure from Madrid but also with the injury of their captain, Antonio Raíllo, which further weakened their defense.
Vinícius and Bellingham made the difference
In the second half, Real Madrid found the breakthrough they were seeking. A brilliant play involving Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. ended with a strike from Bellingham, opening the scoring. Later, the Madrid team capitalized on their opponent's mistakes to seal the victory, including an own goal by Valjent and a final strike by Rodrygo, who celebrated his 24th birthday with a goal.
Despite isolated attempts from players like Cyle Larin and Dani Rodríguez, Mallorca never found the rhythm needed to compete. Madrid, on the other hand, managed the pace of the game, already looking ahead to the challenge of the final against Barcelona, a much-anticipated clash for both fans and organizers.
With this victory, Real Madrid heads into the final with confidence, aiming to lift the trophy against their eternal rivals. The mix of youth and experience seems to be the key to success for Carlo Ancelotti's side.
