Real Madrid in Spanish Super Cup Final
Real Madrid totally rocked the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, bagging the title with a fantastic 4-1 win against their long-time rivals, Barcelona. The hero of the day? Vinicius Junior, pulling off an awesome hat-trick! And get this, he nailed all three goals in the first half of the match on a Sunday. Talk about making it count! This victory marks Real Madrid’s first trophy of the season.
This win marked Real Madrid’s 13th victory in the Super Cup, while Barcelona has won the trophy 14 times. Vinicius celebrated his first goal with enthusiasm, reminiscent of Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo, currently playing in the Saudi Arabian league, witnessed contributions from both sides, with Rodrigo scoring for Real Madrid and Robert Lewandowski netting one for Barcelona in the first half.
Reflecting on his performance, Vinicius commented, “This was for Cristiano Ronaldo because he is my idol, and he is playing here now. I am happy with my display. Playing against Barcelona and securing a 4-1 victory is never easy, but we showed an outstanding game.”
It’s worth noting that there was a time when Lionel Messi played for Barcelona, and Cristiano Ronaldo represented Real Madrid. Their rivalry was intense, with players from both teams competing fiercely and contributing goal after goal. The match used to generate tremendous excitement and anticipation among fans. However, since both legends bid farewell to their respective teams, the same level of excitement and rivalry seems to have diminished in this fixture.
