Real Madrid demonstrated their superior class in a compelling victory against Pachuca, overcoming some early challenges to secure a decisive win. The match took a turning point in the 37th minute when Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring after a series of impressive plays involving Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Jr., and himself.
Rodrygo added a second goal in the 53rd minute with a remarkable individual effort, which significantly impacted Pachuca, who struggled to maintain their energy as the match continued. Despite showing resilience, Pachuca came close to scoring when Rondon had a chance, but their efforts fell short.
In a crucial moment in the dying minutes, a VAR review indicated a penalty for Real Madrid after Lucas Vazquez was fouled by Idrissi. Vinícius Jr., riding high from being named Best Player just days earlier, confidently converted the penalty, marking Carlo Ancelotti’s 15th major title as the manager of Real Madrid and securing the club’s second title of the current season.
As they look ahead, Real Madrid’s focus will shift to the upcoming Spanish Super Cup, set to take place in Jeddah next month, presenting another opportunity for the team to add to their accolades and continue their successful campaign.
This victory not only highlights Real Madrid’s resilience and skill but also sets a positive tone for their future matches. Fans and supporters will be hopeful as the team builds momentum for the Spanish Super Cup and continues their pursuit of greatness.
