Real Madrid triumphed in the final of the Intercontinental Cup, winning 3-0 against Mexicans Pachuca. On the pitch in Doha, Qatar, the Merengue once again demonstrated their superiority. With goals from Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior, the Madrilenians won their sixth title in this competition, while Mbappé made a remarkable comeback after his injury.
Mbappé, doubly decisive for his return
Absent since he was injured in the thigh against Atalanta in the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé made his return as a starter. The Frenchman opened the scoring in the 37th minute thanks to a perfect serve from Vinicius Junior. The latter, recently voted FIFA The Best player, ridiculed the Mexican defense with devastating dribbles before delivering an assist to Mbappé, ideally placed to finish. The Frenchman also stood out in the 53rd minute by offering a precise pass to Rodrygo, who scored with a spectacular curling shot.
Vinicius seals Madrid triumph
Already involved in the opener, Vinicius Junior sealed the victory by converting a penalty at the end of the match with composure. The Brazilian once again proved that he was one of the strong men of this Madrid team. And also the man for big meetings. This collective success also testifies to the intact hunger of the Real Madrid squad. For example, Luka Modric collected his 28th trophy with Casa Blanca.
A historic quintuplet for Real
This triumph also marks a collective feat: for the second time in its history, after 2017 under Zinedine Zidane, Real achieved a quintuple in a calendar year. This Qatari success allows Ancelotti’s men to approach the next events, notably the battle for the La Liga title against FC Barcelona, with renewed confidence.
