1 week(s)
Real Madrid have secured their place in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. The Whites will face Barcelona on Sunday at 8.00pm CET (10:00pm local time) after beating Mallorca in a game that was decided in the second half with a goal from Bellingham in the 63rd minute, another from Valjent, in his own goal, and Rodrygo's goal in stoppage time.
Our boys came out dominating and with tremendous attacking flair from the start. Consequently, they generated constant goalscoring chances. The first came after just three minutes. Mbappé pulled it back for Lucas Vázquez but his left-footed shot ended up in Greif's hands. Rodrygo tried again in the next move, but his left-footed shot, from a tight angle, brought another save from the Mallorca goalkeeper. After ten minutes, Ancelotti‘s men tried their luck with shots from Tchouameni and Bellingham from the edge of the area in the 11th and 16th minute respectively, but they were denied by two great saves from the visitors’ keeper.
Bellingham scores
Midway through the first half, Mallorca adjusted their lines and the chances ceased to come and the game went into the break with a goalless draw. The Whites took the lead in the 63rd minute. A great cross from Vini Jr. to the far post and Rodrygo's diving header hit the post. Mbappé collected the rebound and his shot was blocked by Greif, but the next chance fell to Bellingham, who fired a low shot past the three opposition players covering the goal. The Englishman, who has nine goals to his name this season, has scored in both games in 2025.
Two more goals in stoppage time
From then until the end, our team barely suffered and continued to generate chances that paid off in stoppage time to extend the lead with two more goals. The first was scored by Valjent, in his own goal, when trying to clear a ball from Brahim to Mbappé and the last was scored by Rodrygo after a beautiful assist from Lucas Vázquez. Fourth consecutive Spanish Super Cup final for Real Madrid.
