CNN —Real Madrid claimed its 13th Spanish Super Cup with a comprehensive 4-1 demolition of arch-rival Barcelona in El Clásico on Sunday.
The result was sweet revenge for Madrid, which was defeated 3-1 by Barcelona in the 2023 edition of the tournament.
“We wanted to win the final,” said Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti after the game.
Real doubled its advantage three minutes later when Vinícius scored his second, sliding in to meet a low Rodrygo cross to leave Barcelona reeling.
