The break for ÖFB star David Alaba is not yet over. The Vienna-born Real Madrid player remained on the bench in the semi-finals of the Spanish Supercup in Saudi Arabia against Real Mallorca, but could now make his comeback in the final on Sunday.

From there, Alaba saw a superior Madrid team, but had to wait until the 63rd minute for the lead. This was provided by Jude Bellingham, after Rodrygo initially only hit the post in the same scene and Kylian Mbappe failed against Mallorca goalkeeper Dominik Greif. The defending champion was then content with managing the 1:0, until Martin Valjent unintentionally brought about the final decision with an own goal in stoppage time (93.). Birthday boy Rodrygo added another goal at the end (95.).

Alaba Comeback Against Barca?

This now leads to the third consecutive Supercup final between Real and Barcelona, which had eliminated Athletic Bilbao with 2:0 on Wednesday. Last year, Carlo Ancelotti's team had the upper hand with 4:1, while Barca was successful with 3:1 in 2023.
