Clásico first-half hat-tricker Vinicius
The Brazilian winger completed a hat-trιck in the first half, including two goals and a penalty in the opening ten minutes, as Los Blancos threatened to erupt in chaos early on. Although a prospective resounding victory did not materialize, Carlo Ancelotti’s squad emerged with a comfortable 4-1 victory.While neither team will prioritize the Spanish Suρer Cup this season, the two elite teams in LaLiga are always eager to gain an advantage over the other. Barca was revitalized by their Suρer Cup victory last year; as a result, they went on to win the division. Madrid will be looking to repeat that feat this season, particularly since they lead their Clásico rivals by seven points.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are tied for the Spanish Suρer Cup.
An additional advantage for Los Merengues is that they have now reclaimed parity with Barcelona in terms of victories in this specific competition. With their victory in the 2023 edition, the Catalans moved one clear, but with Madrid’s triumph twelve months later, both clubs will have won the trophy on thirteen occasions.
Throughout its inception, the tournament was conducted as a two-legged contest featuring the champions of LaLiga and Copa del Rey from the prior season. Nevertheless, the previous five editions have been conducted in Saudi Arabia, featuring four participants who are, in theory, the domestic league and cup champions and runners-up from the previous season.
