Real Madrid Secure Fourth Consecutive Supercopa Final with Decisive Win Over Mallorca
Real Madrid booked their spot in the final of the 2025 Supercopa de España with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Mallorca on Thursday night in Jeddah. The win sets up yet another tantalizing El Clasico showdown against Barcelona, marking the third successive Spanish Super Cup final between the two giants.
Despite dominating the first half, Carlo Ancelotti’s side struggled to break through Mallorca’s resilient defense, largely thanks to the heroics of goalkeeper Dominik Greif. The Slovakian shot-stopper made spectacular saves to deny Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni, ensuring the match remained goalless at halftime.
However, the floodgates opened in the second half. Jude Bellingham finally broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute after a chaotic sequence saw Rodrygo hit the woodwork and Kylian Mbappé's attempt saved by Greif. Bellingham’s persistence paid off as he slotted in the rebound to put Madrid ahead.
Mallorca’s woes deepened when Martin Valjent scored an unfortunate own goal, doubling Real Madrid’s advantage. Rodrygo sealed the victory with a clinical finish late in the game, leaving no room for doubt about Madrid’s superiority.
