Unselfishly, Vinícius set up Kylian Mbappé, who tapped the ball into an open net, giving Real Madrid a 1-0 lead.
After the break, Real Madrid continued to press. In the 52nd minute, Rodrygo showcased his speed and finesse by outrunning two defenders. He cut inside and curled a stunning right-footed shot into the top corner, doubling the lead to 2-0.
The Spanish giants sealed their triumph in the 83rd minute when Vinícius Junior confidently converted a penalty, making it 3-0. This victory marks Real Madrid’s second trophy of the season, following their European Super Cup win.
For head coach Carlo Ancelotti, this title represents his 15th trophy at the helm of Los Blancos, further cementing his legacy in football history.
The win not only highlights Real Madrid’s exceptional talent but also sets a promising tone for the rest of their season as they continue to chase more silverware.
