Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, and Vinicius caused a lot of problems for Barca’s defense early on, which abruptly raised the bar for Real Madrid. Real Madrid took only 7 minutes to open the score courtesy to Bellingham’s fantastic assist. Despite having three players encircling him in midfield, the England midfielder produced a brilliant pass to locate Vinicius, who raced forward with the ball and easily beat the goalkeeper to finish in an empty grid. When Federico Valverde swiftly recovered the ball and sent a brilliant pass to Rodrygo, who was well-saved by goalkeeper Inaki Pena, Ancelotti’s team blew a huge chance to extend their lead.However, in the tenth minute, Real Madrid’s second goal was shortly to follow, this time from a long pass from Dani Carvajal to Rodrygo, who broke into the box and then sent the ball across for fellow countryman Vinicius to tap in and score.After Ferran Torres’ volley struck the crossbar, Barca countered, and goalie Andriy Lunin moved to stop Robert Lewandowski’s effort. But Barca held strong and equalized in the 33rd minute thanks to a stunning strike from Lewandowski during another counterattack. Barca appeared to be winning the match until Aurelien Tchouameni crossed the ball to Vinicius Jr., who was fouled by Araujo in the penalty area and successfully converted the penalty to make it 3-1 in the 39th minute.Vinicius Junior scored a hat-trick to help Real Madrid win their first title of the season.

Vinicius scored his first goals in three matches since he recovered from the injury he suffered in November with the Brazilian national team in World Cup qualifying. “Vinicius is back. He needs 2 or 3 matches to regain his best form like today,” coach Ancelotti said. “I didn’t expect us to score three so early, but we took advantage of their high defense with an inspired Vinicius tonight. It was a difficult match, the result seemed a bit heavy considering the way Barcelona played. When the score was 4-1, they seemed demoralized. We are very happy with our first title of the season.”

Meanwhile, Vinicius after the first goal imitated the typical celebration of former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. And Vinicius, who was named best player of the final, also explained: “It’s for Cris, because he’s my idol and now he’s playing here. I am very happy with myself and with my team. It was not easy to play against Barcelona and win 4-1. We played an almost perfect match.”

After a dull second half in which they failed to get a single shot on goal, Barca may lose even more badly. After the interval, Real Madrid dominated entirely, and in the 64th minute, Rodrygo scored the game-winning 4-1 goal on a counterattack. With 13 Super Cup victories to their name, Real Madrid is only one behind Barcelona. Real Madrid has also won the Super Cup twice since the competition’s format was changed four years ago, when four teams competed in Saudi Arabia.

As they extended their winning streak to 21 games in all competitions, including a 2-1 triumph against Barca in the first “Super Classic” match of the season in October’s La Liga, the victory infuriated coach Ancelotti’s team even more. The 1-3 loss Real Madrid suffered in La Liga against Atletico Madrid in September was their most recent and only loss of the season.
