Real Madrid showed no mercy in Riyadh, tearing apart their LaLiga rivals Barcelona FC and giving them a run for their money. They secured their 13th Spanish Super Cup victory with three goals from Brazilian star Vinicius Jr.
With this, Los Merengues redeemed themselves for the setback suffered last year when Barcelona defeated them 3-1 in the Saudi city.

Sunday's victory allowed Real Madrid to narrow the gap in the number of Spanish Super Cups against their fierce rivals, with Los Culés holding 14 titles against Los Blancos' 13.
Vinicius Jr., who has endured a challenging season marked by injuries and racist attacks from fans of Real Madrid rivals, emerged as the star of the match by scoring three goals.
On a couple of occasions, the Brazilian star surprised the Al-Awwal Park crowd by celebrating in the style of Cristiano Ronaldo, who, in less than a year, has become an idol in the Arab league.
Real Madrid's fourth goal was scored by Rodrygo.
