Real Madrid emerged as the Spanish Super Cup champions after a commanding 4-1 victory over their arch-rivals FC Barcelona. The match, which saw Vinícius Júnior shine with a hat-trick, showcased Real Madrid's dominance and left Barcelona's future in doubt.

Last year, Barcelona celebrated a Super Cup triumph, heralding a new era under Xavi and claiming superiority over an aging Real Madrid side. However, the tides have turned, as Barcelona's project appears to be crumbling while Real Madrid continues to innovate and reinvent itself. The revenge for last year's defeat was particularly satisfying for Real Madrid, with the game seemingly settled within the first 10 minutes.

Jude Bellingham's form has been a topic of discussion lately, as he struggled to find the back of the net in recent outings. Although he didn't score in the Super Cup final, Bellingham impressed with his creative play, providing a magnificent assist for Vinícius' opening goal. He also showcased his dribbling skills and was actively involved in the game.

The tactical battle was won by Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, who secured his third consecutive victory over Xavi. Xavi's defensive tactics failed to contain Vinícius and Rodrygo Goes, who wreaked havoc behind Barcelona's high defensive line.

In terms of the goalkeeper position, Andriy Lunin was preferred over Kepa, following Kepa's uncertain performance in the semi-final against Atlético Madrid. Ancelotti confirmed that Lunin would also start in the upcoming Copa del Rey match against Atlético. Lunin made six impressive saves during the final, instilling confidence in Real Madrid fans that he can excel as the first-choice goalkeeper.

Vinícius Júnior's performance was nothing short of exceptional, as he became the first player since 1987 to score two goals within the first 10 minutes of a Clásico. His third goal sealed his first Real Madrid hat-trick in a Clásico and showcased his impeccable timing and decisive finishing.

With the Spanish Super Cup under their belt, Real Madrid now have their sights set on three more titles this season. The momentum gained from this victory will be crucial as they prepare to face Atlético in the Copa del Rey. Despite a challenging fixture schedule, confidence is high among the Real Madrid squad, who are determined to taste further success.

This win marks Real Madrid's third Spanish Super Cup victory in five years, highlighting their impressive run in the competition. Their last similar streak dates back to the late 1980s and early 1990s when they won the Super Cup three times in a row.

As the season progresses, Real Madrid will look to build on their recent success and continue their pursuit of multiple titles in the coming months.
