Vinicius Jr. Gets A Perfect 10 | Real Madrid Players Rated In Dominant Win Vs Barcelona | OneFootball

Real Madrid faced off against Barcelona in Saudi Arabia earlier tonight as they looked to secure a win in the Spanish Super Cup final. Los Blancos made a quick start to the game and raced to a two-goal lead within the first ten minutes of the game thanks to a brace from Vinicius Junior. Robert Lewandowski got a goal back for Barca in the 33rd minute but Vinicius Jr. completed his hattrick just six minutes later from the penalty spot. Carlo Ancelotti’s men went into the half-time break 3-1 up on the scoreline.

Rodrygo killed the game off in the 64th minute before Ronald Araujo was sent off by the referee in the 71st minute. The contest ended with Real Madrid securing a dominant 4-1 win in the Spanish Super Cup final.
