Thanks in particular to a Vinicius hat-trick, Real Madrid beat FC Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup (4-1) on Sunday in Riyadh. A very good performance from the Merengues against a sad reigning champion.
Not content with being seven points ahead of Barça in the race for the La Liga title, Real Madrid comfortably won the Clasico in the program for the final of the Spanish Super Cup, Sunday evening in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Merengues won with a clear score of 4-1, propelled by the double entry scored by Vinicius (7th and 10th). Jules Koundé is at fault for the Brazilian crack’s first goal.
