Real Madrid have now had their way in Jeddah, but are now closing in on Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday, having taken the lead in the semi-final clash against Mallorca.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team could not find the goal in the first half, but shortly after the hour mark they finally did. It was the in-form Jude Bellingham who struck once again, forcing the ball into the back of the net after Rodrygo Goes and Kylian Mbappe were denied.
