Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo scored to give Real Madrid a 3-0 victory over Real Mallorca on Thursday, setting a matchup with rivals Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. With the support of Jeddah supporters, Madrid never looked like they were going to give up, and a stoppage-time own goal by Martin Valjent sealed the victory, with Rodrygo Goes adding a late third from close range. Real Madrid made the early lead against last season's Copa del Rey runners-up, with Lucas Vazquez and Rodrygo coming close in the first half.
After falling under Dani Rodriguez's pressure, Kylian Mbappe requested a penalty, although it would have been soft. After settling down, Mallorca, led by Jagoba Arrasate, did a good job of denying the Spanish and European champions any more clear chances during the first half. Aurelien Tchouameni was injured in a challenge with Cyle Larin, and Madrid lost him early in the second half. However, he later declared he was not affected.
After the post, Madrid's Bellingham broke the tie in the 63rd minute, while Mallorca's goalie, Dominik Greif, held off Rodrygo and Mbappe. When Rodrygo's header from Vinicius Junior's cross struck the upright and Mbappe's attempt was deflected by the scurrying Greif, a dazzling Madrid move paid off. Bellingham's incredible run of individual form in front of goal continued as he was in the right position at the right moment to slide in the rebound beyond goal-line defenders neatly.
El Clasico match in Spanish Super Cup
Mbappe and Vinicius Jr had a quiet night by their standards, but they both played in the first goal, which Ancelotti claimed demonstrated the harm his team is capable of. When Valjent reached to cut out a pass but slid the ball into his net, Mallorca, who had been struggling to get back in, ended up helping Madrid score their second goal. The Super Cup winners Madrid won the final last season, and Rodrygo sealed the victory late in the game to set up a rematch.
Despite the on-field controversy, Real Madrid put on a dominant display and defeated Mallorca 3-0. After a spectacular finish by Jude Bellingham, Mallorca defender Martin Valjent let up the goal. On the other hand, Rodryog’s pinpoint goal in stoppage time won Real Madrid the spot for the Supercopa de Espana final. The final will be an El Clasico match between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
