Real Madrid footballers are the winners of the Spanish Super Cup after defeating Barcelona 4-1 in the final in Riyadh in front of 23,800 spectators at the KSU Stadium.

The hero of the match was the hat-trick scorer Vinicius Junior (7, 10, 39-11m), and Rodrygo also scored for Real (64). Robert Lewandowski scored for Barcelona in the 33rd minute, and it's worth noting that Barca played with one player less from the 71st minute after Ronald Araujo was sent off.

Luka Modrić played for Real from the 81st minute, entering the game instead of Toni Kroos. The captain of the Croatian national team has now won his 24th trophy in the jersey of the "Royal Club," with Marcelo and Karim Benzema being record holders, having won 25 each.

For Real, this is the 13th title of the Super Cup winners, but Barcelona is still the record holder with one more trophy.

The "Royal Club" fantastically opened the game, and after 10 minutes, they led 2-0 with goals from Vinicius Junior. However, the Catalans had the first chance. In the fifth minute, Sergi Roberto found himself in an excellent position but didn't react the best. Two minutes later, Real took the lead. Jude Bellingham brilliantly passed the ball to Vinicius Junior alone in front of the goal. The Brazilian bypassed Inaki Pena and calmly scored for 1-0. Two minutes later, Rodrygo had a great opportunity, and just a minute later, Vinicius scored his second goal.

Rodrygo was the assistant, and Vinicius scored for 2-0 at the second post. Two minutes later, Barca could have reduced the deficit, but Ferran Torres' shot hit the crossbar. The Catalans managed to narrow the gap in the 33rd minute with a fantastic shot from Robert Lewandowski from the edge of the penalty area.

Alejandro Balde crossed from the left side, Ferland Mendy cleared, but precisely to the Polish striker, who hit the ball on the first touch. However, the joy of the Catalan fans was short-lived. Four minutes later, Ronald Araujo pulled Vinicius, causing a penalty. The brilliant Brazilian took the penalty himself, scoring his third goal of the match.

Rodrygo increased it to 4-1 in the 64th minute, and when Barca was left with ten men in the 71st minute after the expulsion of Ronald Araujo, it was clear that the issue of the winner was resolved.
