Real Madrid Defeats Mallorca in Supercopa

Real Madrid triumphed over RCD Mallorca with a convincing 3-0 win in the Spanish Super Cup, setting up a final against Barcelona. However, the match was marred by tensions between Vinicius Jr. and Mallorca defender Pablo Maffeo, reigniting their long-standing feud. Following a series of altercations and provocations on the pitch, both teams clashed post-game, requiring intervention from coaching staff to defuse the situation. Former Real Madrid player Omar Mascarell urged the media to fairly represent the conflict and defended Maffeo, stating that the incidents were exaggerated and that Real Madrid was provoking them. Aurelien Tchouameni commented on the ongoing issues with Maffeo, emphasizing that they prefer not to engage with his antics. Despite the drama, Jude Bellingham's performance and subsequent goals secured Madrid's place in the final.
