Jumping into the Final: Bellingham’s Brilliance Shines
In a thrilling showdown, Jude Bellingham propelled Real Madrid into the Spanish Super Cup final with a decisive 3-0 victory over Mallorca in Saudi Arabia. The young English midfielder displayed his emerging star power, scoring a critical goal as Madrid now sets its sights on the final clash against Barcelona.
Bellingham’s Big Moment
Jude Bellingham has been on fire lately, and he didn’t disappoint in the Super Cup semifinal. The England international, who finished as Madrid’s top scorer last season, found his rhythm again as he netted his latest goal in the 63rd minute. Up until then, Mallorca’s defense looked impenetrable. But Bellingham shattered their resolve by capitalizing on a chaotic moment in the box after a series of Madrid attempts. First, Rodrygo hit the post, followed by a valiant stretch from Mallorca’s goalie Dominik Greif to deny Kylian Mbappé. But Bellingham’s instincts kicked in as he seized the rebound and slotted it home, leaving defenders scrambling in vain.
A Dramatic Finish and a Rivalry Reignited
The action didn’t stop there. Real Madrid finished strong, adding two more goals in stoppage time. An unfortunate own goal by Mallorca’s Martin Valjent — a misguided attempt to clear a pass from Brahim Díaz — paved the way for a comfortable lead. Rodrygo then sealed the deal with the third goal, emphasizing Madrid’s dominance in this critical match.
Tempers flared briefly at the end of the match, highlighting the fierce rivalry. A physical altercation broke out following a minor skirmish between Bellingham and Mallorca defender Pablo Maffeo. With emotionally charged clashes like this, the intensity of the Super Cup is palpable.
Now, all eyes turn to Sunday’s final where Real Madrid will face off against their historic adversaries, Barcelona. After a stellar performance and a display of unity on the pitch, Madrid is ready to chase that Super Cup glory.
