Dani Carvajal 7/10

After his goal-scoring heroics in the semi-final, the Spanish full-back was more defensive against Barcelona. Did well to contain the pace and threat of Balde. Getty Images

Antonio Rudiger 8/10

The German defender loves the big occasion and proved it again on Sunday night in Riyadh. Led the defence with a series of tackles and headers, while keeping Barca's attack largely quiet. AFP

Ferland Mendy 7/10

The French left-back was comfortably the winner in his duel with Torres, although he found it tougher up against substitute Yamal. Didn't matter, though, as Real had a comfortable lead by that point. Show more

Effective at the base of Real Madrid's midfield, the Frenchman put in the tackles and protected his defence while keeping Pedri quiet. Getty Images

Toni Kroos 7/10

The German continued to get booed by sections of the fans for his less-than-complimentary comments about the Saudi Pro League, but didn't let that impact his performance. Displayed his usual full arraShow more

Federico Valverde 7/10

A typically all-action, energetic performance from the Uruguayan who helped Real Madrid control the midfield. AFP

Rodrygo 8/10

Vinicius Junior 10/10

A hat-trick in a cup final against your fiercest rivals is as good as it gets. The Brazilian opened the scoring in the seventh minute when he sprinted clear and rounded Pena, and got his second just tShow more

Alejandro Balde 5/10

Part of a defence blitzed by Madrid’s counter attacks in front of the 23,977 crowd. The Catalans’ defence was continually pulled out of shape. Couldn’t get forward as he usually does. AP

Jules Kounde 4/10

Andreas Christensen 5/10

Cleared to play after an injury on Thursday, he’s lacking match fitness and it showed. A fit Pedri will help a Barcelona side who’ve missed him and will continue to miss Gavi. “We played the worst posShow more

Sergi Roberto 5/10

Ilkay Gundogan 5/10

Outshone by his opponents who dazzled in white. Was out of position as Carvajal set up Rodrygo to score. Needs must means he’s played as a deep-lying playmaker in a side missing Sergio Busquets, yet hShow more

Vinicius Jr scored a first-half hat-trick as Real Madrid were crowned Spanish Super Cup champions after a 4-1 demolition of bitter rivals Barcelona in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.

Real dominated every aspect of the game and toyed with last year's champions who could not handle Vinicius and ended the contest with 10 men after defender Ronald Araujo was sent off for a second booking in the 71st minute after two fouls on the Brazilian.

Vinicius scored with two close-range efforts in the seventh and 10th minutes before Robert Lewandowski reduced the deficit in the 33rd with a strike on the rebound.

Vinicius extended Real's lead in the 39th minute from the penalty spot, after being fouled by Araujo inside the box.

The goal was a hammer blow for Barcelona who were dominated in the second half and Rodrygo struck Real's fourth from a rebound in the 64th minute.

With their victory, Real became Spanish Super Cup winners for a 13th time to take them to within one of their bitter rivals. It is the second time they have won the trophy since it was moved to Saudi Arabia in 2020.
