Real Madrid rightfully won the match against Mallorca, who never seriously considered a comeback after falling behind.
In the first half, Carlo Ancelotti’s squad got off to a fast start, putting many good looks at custodian Hugo Greif but unable to create any real scoring opportunities.
Despite barely getting on the scoreboard in the first half, Mallorca grew into the match and finished with the game’s best two opportunities. It was Larin’s fault; he had a great position on the edge of the box, but he headed wide and lifted the ball over the crossbar.
Just after the hour mark, following a Rodrygo header off the post, Madrid took complete control of the game and scored a goal when Bellingham poked the ball over the line. There was never any room for question after that, regardless of how long Mallorca hung on.
The islanders had little chance of scoring, but an own goal by Valjent and another by Rodrygo in stoppage time gave Los Blancos a fitting send-off.
As a result, Real Madrid will tie Barcelona for the most Spanish Super Cup victories.
If Real Madrid wins the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday, they will tie Barcelona for second place in that category. Currently, the record number of competition victories is held by the Catalans with fourteen, closely followed by Los Blancos with fourteen.
Champions League final of the 2025 Spanish Cup
Even the Spanish Soccer Federation (cough, cough) wanted to see this final. On January 12, 2025, in King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Real Madrid and Barcelona will meet in a Clásico for the Spanish Super Cup.
It would be fair to claim that following Real Madrid’s third goal, Maffeo, Vázquez, and Raúl Asencio were the main characters in a few arguments. Also, Vinicius, who had to step in from the bench. However, it appears that everything has now fizzled out.
