Three goals from Vini Jr. and one from Rodrygo helped Real Madrid beat Barcelona and win the title for the thirteenth time in the team’s history.

After defeating Barcelona in the championship match, Real Madrid won their thirteenth Spanish Super Cup and the first championship of the season in Riyadh. At the Al-Awwal Park stadium, Ancelotti’s team performed an outstanding performance and added another trophy to the club’s collection. With three goals in the first half, two of which came within three minutes, Vini Jr. was instrumental in the match. In the sixty-fourth minute, Rodrygo made it 4-1 after Lewandowski had pulled one back.

Vini Jr.’s offensive display helped Real Madrid take an early 2-0 lead within ten minutes, demonstrating their lack of patience. With seven minutes remaining, Bellingham threaded a precise pass behind the defence to the Brazilian, who carried into the area and finished a one-on-one with Iñaki Peña to make it 1-0. Rodrygo nearly scored in the next move as his right-footed shot was blocked off the line by the goalkeeper. In the tenth minute, Vini Jr.’s left-footed effort met Rodrygo’s low cross to the far post after Carvajal made a brilliant ball from his own half, making it 2-0.

Vini Jr’s hat-trick

Ferrán Torres’ shot against the crossbar gave Xavi’s team a response, and minutes later he attempted again, but Lunin stopped it. Lewandowski made it 2-1 with a first-time shot from the edge of the box that the Ukrainian was unable to stop. But Vini Jr. didn’t stop there since he finished off his hat-trick just before halftime. After being pulled down by Araujo inside the box, the Brazilian scored with his right foot as the referee pointed to the spot, capping an incredible first half (3-1).

The second half was somewhat quieter and saw fewer chances produced than the first, which had been quite chaotic. In the 64th minute, the Whites were rewarded for their continued efforts to increase their score. Vini Jr. received a deep cross from Valverde, and as he cut back, Kounde partially cleared the ball, setting Rodrygo up for a sidefooted goal to make it 4-1.

Madrid is in charge.

Two minutes after Brahim’s substitution on the 77th, the attacker came dangerously close to scoring his team’s fifth goal. After regaining possession of the ball, Kroos found the Malaga-born player, who surged into the area and skillfully turned to evade De Jong, only to have Iñaki Peña block his shot. Bellingham got the rebound and missed the mark by the narrowest of margins. With 10 minutes remaining, Barcelona attempted to cut the lead when João Felix flicked the ball over the defender, but Lunin saved his low effort well with his feet. In the final moments, Real Madrid maintained a strong defense to win the Spanish Super Cup in Riyadh.
