- Real Madrid beat Barcelona 4-1 in the Spanish Super Cup Final.
- Vinicius Jr. scored a hat-trick and celebrated like Cristiano Ronaldo.
- Real Madrid won their first Super Cup since 2020.
Vinicius imitated the celebration that Cristiano Ronaldo made after he scored the first goal.
"The celebration was dedicated to Cristiano Ronaldo, because he is my idol and now he plays here,” Vinicius said after the match.
“I want to be a better person. Everyone wants to fight me. I try my best to stay focused. I am not a saint, sometimes I talk too much, sometimes I do dribbles that I don’t have to do and I want to learn. I'm here for that, to learn,” he added.

Vinicius scored first in the seventh and tenth minutes, while Robert Lewandowski cut the score in the thirty-third.
In the 39th minute, Vinicius increased Real Madrid's lead with a penalty kick after Araujo had fouled him inside the box.
In the 64th minute of the second half, Rodrygo scored Real Madrid's fourth goal off a rebound.
