The breakthrough finally came in the 63rd minute, courtesy of Jude Bellingham. Positioned on the left side of the penalty area, Bellingham masterfully weaved through Majorque’s defense. With five defenders attempting to block his path, he unleashed a precise shot with the inside of his right foot, finding the back of the net. The goal, validated after a quick referee consultation, proved to be the decisive moment of the match.
Majorque, while resilient, could not capitalize on their opportunities. Notable attempts included a corner kick by Dani Rodriguez and a shot from Johan Mojica that sailed over the bar. Their substitutions in the 70th minute, including the introduction of Takuma Asano and Samuel Costa, injected fresh energy, but the Real Madrid defense, led by Antonio Rüdiger and Aurélien Tchouaméni, held firm.
On Real Madrid’s side, Kylian Mbappé came close to doubling the lead on multiple occasions, including a strike that Dominik Greif expertly saved. Eduardo Camavinga also contributed a solid performance, though he earned a yellow card for a tactical foul on Rodriguez.
As the final whistle blew, Carlo Ancelotti’s men celebrated their hard-earned victory. They now turn their attention to the final, where they will face Barcelona, promising yet another electrifying chapter in their storied rivalry. Majorque, despite the loss, leaves the tournament with their heads high, having showcased commendable grit against one of football's giants.
