After a 3-0 semi-final win over Mallorca on Thursday, Real Madrid will face Barcelona in the Supercopa de España final.

scorer: Bellingham 61′, 90+3′ Valjent (OG), Rodrygo 90+6′

Carlo Ancelotti’s team was at the forefront from the first whistle, with stars Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo alert. Goalkeeper Dominik Greif stayed on his toes and prevented the quartet from playing for most of the game.

However, a surprise counter-attack could have given Mallorca a surprising lead as Cyle Larin beat Antonio Rüdiger for pace. Unfortunately for him, his unmarked header from point-blank range missed the target.

Madrid continued to play out wide and struggled to deconstruct Mallorca’s organized defense. Such an approach resulted in the game being tied at halftime despite 15 shots.

Los Blancos continued to dictate the game after the break but were without Aurélien Tchouaméni due to a head injury. The French midfielder left the stadium on his own before going for treatment.

After holding on Mallorca with all their might for over an hour, they finally collapsed. Madrid’s attackers charged forward and after Rodrygo hit the post, Mbappé failed to grab the rebound until Bellingham finally pushed the ball into the goal.

The Englishman continues to be in top form for the giants from the Spanish capital. This was his tenth goal contribution in his last nine games for the club.

Mallorca’s inability to get a shot on goal was the reason they failed to mount a comeback. To make matters worse, a late own goal from Martin Valjent put the ball into the net to make it 2-0, before Rodrygo added to the misery by scoring a late third goal in the closing moments.
