Real Madrid beat Mallorca 3-0 to set up Clasico final against Barcelona in Spanish Super Cup

Carlo Ancelotti has warned fans to expect the unexpected when Real Madrid face Barcelona in the Spanish Supercopa final on Sunday.

Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo scored second-half goals to help Real Madrid to a 3-0 win over Mallorca after Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 in the other semi-final clash.

"The Clasico has been unpredictable lately," Ancelotti told reporters on Thursday.

"There were games we won easily, like the 4-1 last year in the Super Cup. We also won 4-0 twice in Barcelona while ​​they beat us 4-0 at the Bernabeu.

"It's hard to think what kind of game the next one will be. It will be entertaining because there is quality on the pitch. And obviously we want to end up being better than Barcelona."

Real took time to open the scoring against last year's Copa del Rey finalists Mallorca, who sit sixth in the La Liga standings 13 points off leaders Real.

England midfielder Bellingham broke the deadlock after the hour mark, applying the finishing touch to an excellent team move featuring Rodrygo and Kylian Mbappe.

"We started very well, but we could have opened the scoring a little earlier, in the first half," Ancelotti said.

"After the good start it became more difficult for us. It was a demanding game because Mallorca played the game they had to play.

"They were defending very well, closing spaces, trying to look for opportunities with crosses. A couple of times they created problems for us."

Real finished the game without midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, who was replaced by Raul Asencio early in the second half following a clash of heads with a Mallorca defender.

Bellingham looked uncomfortable after going down in the final minutes but completed the game while Federico Valverde was substituted with 15 minutes remaining by Dani Ceballos.

"The doctor preferred to take him [Tchouameni] off the pitch because it was a blow to the head," Ancelotti said. "Bellingham and Valverde were overloads. We were not expecting the heat and it affected the rhythm of the game."

Vinicius Jr and Mbappe had a quiet night by their standards, but were both involved in the opening goal and Ancelotti said it showed the damage his side can do.

"When those up front activate, anything can happen," said Ancelotti.

"The four [forwards] are very dangerous, that's quite evident, everyone can see it, the quality they have."

Mallorca struggled to find a way back in and ended up contributing Madrid's second goal, when Valjent stretched to cut out a pass but slid the ball into his own goal.

Rodrygo wrapped up the win late on to set up a repeat of last season's final, won by Super Cup holders Madrid.

There was some pushing and shoving between both teams at the end, centred on a spat between Mallorca's Pablo Maffeo and Madrid defender Asencio.

"It wasn't necessary to have a fight like that ... in the end nothing happened, but neither team needed to do it," said Ancelotti.
