He didn't add to his collection in their clash with rivals Barcelona in the final but contributed to the 4-1 thrashing in Saudi Arabia.

The opener, which was scored by Vinicius Jr, was assisted by Bellingham, who threaded the ball through a crowd in the Brazilian's path before he rounded Barca goalkeeper Inaki Pena Sotorres before slotting home on seven minutes.

Vinicius Jr then made it 2-0 moments later as Barcelona's offside trap backfired.

A fine volley by Robert Lewandowski breathed new life into the contest but Real Madrid's two-goal advantage was restored when Vinicius Jr completed his hat-trick with a penalty after he was brought down in the box.
