Real Madrid delivered a statement performance with a convincing 3-0 victory over Mallorca, setting up an electrifying Spanish Super Cup showdown against bitter rivals Barcelona on Sunday. Jude Bellingham’s clinical strike and a late flurry of goals ensured Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s men secured their seventh win in the last nine head-to-head meetings against the Pirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dominant First Half but No Breakthrough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The reigning champions wasted no time asserting their dominance at the King Fahd International Stadium. Lucas V\u00e1zquez, Rodrygo, and Bellingham tested Dominik Greif in the Mallorca goal during a frenetic opening 20 minutes. The Pirates\u2019 defense, however, stood firm, repelling wave after wave of Real\u2019s attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite enjoying nearly all the possession, Los Blancos struggled to convert their territorial superiority into a goal. Rodrygo came closest just before halftime, blazing over the bar after some sensational link-up play with Bellingham. Mallorca\u2019s resilience left the game finely balanced at the break, with the underdogs clinging to the hope of a major upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mallorca\u2019s Warning Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Pirates emerged from the halftime interval with renewed confidence and almost stunned the Spanish giants. Dani Rodr\u00edguez capitalized on a lapse in concentration from V\u00e1zquez, but his powerful strike whistled narrowly off target. That scare seemed to jolt Real Madrid into action as they tightened their grip on proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellingham Breaks the Deadlock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the pressure mounting, Real Madrid finally broke Mallorca\u2019s resistance in the 63rd minute. Once again, Jude Bellingham showcased his knack for decisive contributions and pounced on a rebound after Rodrygo\u2019s header struck the post. Greif managed to block an initial follow-up from Mbapp\u00e9, but the Englishman was on hand to slam the ball into the net from eight yards out, sending the Madrid faithful into raptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late Drama Secures Victory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mallorca fought valiantly to stay in the game, but Real\u2019s relentless attacking trio of Rodrygo, Mbapp\u00e9, and substitute Brahim D\u00edaz proved too hot to handle. Dominik Greif kept the Pirates in contention with a string of sensational saves, but he could only do so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the clock ticked into stoppage time, the floodgates opened. Martin Valjent inadvertently turned Brahim D\u00edaz\u2019s clever through ball into his net, gifting Real their second goal of the evening. Moments later, Rodrygo capped off the victory, sneaking in at the back post to slot home and put the game well beyond Mallorca\u2019s reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
