The three Real Madrid stars made the difference for the Merengues in the Intercontinental Cup final against Mexican club Pachuca on Wednesday evening in Qatar. Jude Bellingham, Vinicius and Kylian Mbappé were involved in the Merengues’ opener in the 37th minute at the immense Lusail Stadium. It was the French phenomenon who shook the nets in the stadium of the 2022 World Cup final against Argentina (lost by the Blues on penalties exactly two years ago).
Full axis, Bellingham delicately slipped the ball to “Vini” in the area and the Brazilian winger erased the opposing goalkeeper, Carlos Moreno, with a magnificent leg-hook passing sequence before serving Mbappé on a plate. A new high-class gesture for the man who missed the 2024 Ballon d’Or but who was elected The Best FIFA Player 2024 on Tuesday evening.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Real, winner of the Champions League on June 1, 2024, can already win its second trophy of the season after the European Super Cup won in mid-August against Atalanta (2-0).
