Earlier today, Real Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup by defeating FC Barcelona by a score of 4-1. This victory was Real Madrid’s first title of the 2023/24 season.
With a spectacular hat-trick in the first half, Vinicius Jr. was the star of the show for Los Blancos. He sealed the deal for his club, ensuring that Barcelona had no chance of winning the match.
After being put in behind the Barca defense by Jude Bellingham, the Brazilian superstar scored the first goal in the game only seven minutes into the match. He finished off a fantastic break that had the opposite effect.
The 23-year-old player added another goal to his score three minutes later by putting the finishing touches on yet another counterattack. He then made it three with a penalty kick.
There was a punishment duty assigned to Bellingham.
Vinicius, on the other hand, would not have been able to finish off the first-half hat trick; this is according to fresh film from Movistar, which was obtained by Madrid Xtra.
In point of fact, Bellingham was the one who was meant to take the penalty kick that his club won in the opening period of the match against Barcelona. He was on penalty duty for Real Madrid, who was playing Barcelona from the previous night.
Nevertheless, Vinicius asked the Englishman if he may take the penalty, and the midfielder gladly agreed to do so. Vinicius had previously scored two goals from the penalty spot.
After Vinicius was allowed to accept the punishment, Bellingham explained to him, “The next time it’s for me.”
After making a flawless attempt from the penalty spot, the Brazilian player, who is 23 years old, went on to dedicate the goal to the summer acquisition who cost 103 million euros.
After Vinicius scored a goal against Barcelona in Riyadh last night, Real Madrid will be hopeful that things take a turn for the better coming from the penalty spot. This season, Real Madrid has not had the greatest of records from the penalty spot.
