Jude Bellingham continued his remarkable form for Real Madrid, scoring his ninth goal in just 11 appearances across all competitions, as the Spanish giants secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Mallorca in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final. The match, held at Jeddah’s King Abdullah Sports City, sees Madrid advance to a highly anticipated final against arch-rivals Barcelona.
Bellingham broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute, capping off a swift counter-attack initiated by Rodrygo, whose header struck the post, and Kylian Mbappé, whose powerful shot was saved by goalkeeper Dominik Greif. The England international calmly slotted the rebound into the net to give the reigning champions the lead.
Madrid added a second goal in stoppage time when Mallorca defender Martin Valjent inadvertently turned Brahim DÃaz’s precise pass into his own net. Just moments later, Rodrygo capitalized on a pinpoint cross from Lucas Vázquez to round off the scoring in the 95th minute, ensuring a comprehensive victory for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
The match concluded on a tense note as both teams became embroiled in a heated post-match confrontation. The altercation appeared to have been sparked by an exchange between Mallorca’s Pablo Maffeo and Madrid’s VinÃcius Júnior, leading to players and staff from both sides converging on the pitch.
Real Madrid will now face Barcelona in Sunday’s final (7:45 pm GMT) at the same venue, with the two La Liga giants set to battle for domestic supremacy in the prestigious tournament.
