Real Madrid’s Stellar Performance
From the first whistle, Real Madrid set the tone for the match, demonstrating their intent to dominate. The team’s attacking prowess was on full display, with their midfield orchestrating play and their forwards creating constant threats. The opening goal came in the 15th minute, courtesy of a stunning strike from VinĂcius JĂşnior, who capitalized on a defensive lapse by Pachuca.
The second goal followed shortly before halftime, with Jude Bellingham converting a perfectly timed cross from Dani Carvajal. This goal not only doubled Real Madrid’s lead but also showcased their ability to exploit spaces and execute clinical finishes.
Pachuca’s Struggles Against Real Madrid
Pachuca, despite their spirited efforts, found it difficult to match Real Madrid’s pace and precision. The Mexican side struggled to maintain possession and were often pinned back into their defensive third. Their attempts to counterattack were thwarted by Real Madrid’s solid defensive line, led by Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba.

The second half saw Real Madrid maintain their dominance, controlling the tempo and denying Pachuca any chance of a comeback. The final nail in the coffin came in the 75th minute when Luka Modrić, the veteran playmaker, scored a sensational long-range goal. His strike not only sealed the 3-0 victory but also underscored the depth of talent within the Real Madrid squad.
A Historic Achievement
