Real Madrid will chase a record-equalling 14th Spanish Super Cup title in the final against Barcelona after second-half goals by Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo helped them to a 3-0 win over Mallorca in their semifinal on Thursday.

England midfielder Bellingham broke the deadlock after the hour mark with a low shot into the middle of the goal before Mallorca defender Martin Valjent's own goal doubled the lead in stoppage time, followed by a Rodrygo strike from close range.

Spanish champions Madrid will play Barcelona for the trophy on Sunday after goals by Gavi and Lamine Yamal earned the Catalan club a 2-0 win over Athletic Club on Wednesday.

Barcelona and Madrid will meet in the competition's final for third consecutive time, with Carlo Ancelotti's side prevailing last year while Barcelona last lifted the trophy in 2023.

Barcelona hold the record of 14 titles, with Madrid on 13.

Last year's Copa del Rey finalists Mallorca defended well against Madrid and the game was goalless at the break after early attempts by Lucas Vázquez and Bellingham forced Mallorca keeper Dominik Greif into saves.

Bellingham found a way past the Slovakian keeper in the 63rd minute, however, following an excellent team move.

Rodrygo hit the post with a header and Kylian Mbappé's follow up shot was brilliantly denied by Greif before Bellingham opened the scoring.

Los Blancos continued pushing to increase their lead but did not find the net again until Valjent sent the ball into his own net two minutes into stoppage time, attempting to block a shot from Madrid substitute Brahim Díaz.

Rodrygo made it 3-0 three minutes later, converting a stunning cross into the box by Vazquez to celebrate his 24th birthday in style.

The Spanish Super Cup has been a four-team competition since 2020, featuring the winners and runners-up of LaLiga and the Copa del Rey.
