January 10, (THEWILL) – Real Madrid advanced to the Supercopa de Espana final with a 3-0 triumph against Mallorca on Thursday evening, at King Abdullah Sports City. The victory sets up an enticing clash with Barcelona on Sunday.
The opening period witnessed Real Madrid controlling possession, with Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo creating multiple opportunities. Despite their dominance, the Spanish giants were unable to convert their chances before the interval.
The breakthrough arrived in the 63rd minute through Bellingham, who demonstrated remarkable composure to guide the ball past four defenders on the goal line. The sequence began with Rodrygo’s header striking the woodwork, followed by Kylian Mbappe’s attempt being stopped by goalkeeper Dominik Greif.
Carlo Ancelotti’s squad extended their advantage during second-half stoppage time when Martin Valjent inadvertently directed Brahim Diaz’s cross into his own net, putting the match beyond Mallorca’s reach.
Rodrygo added a third goal in the final moments, meeting Lucas Vazquez’s precise delivery at the far post to complete the comprehensive victory. The result maintains Real Madrid’s pursuit of a record-equalling 14th Supercopa de Espana title.
