Star winger Vinicius Jr notched up a brilliant hat-trick as Real Madrid defeated arch-rivals FC Barcelona 4-1 in the Spanish Super Cup Final on Sunday at the Al-Awwal Park Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
However, the Brazilian’s hat-trick was not enough for Real Madrid President Florentino Perez.
“I told Vini he should've scored more goals. Three is not enough," Perez said after the match.
Perez also lauded Madrid’s manager Carlo Ancelotti, who has now won 11 trophies with the club.
“He [Ancelotti] is truly a coach who fits in very well with Madrid's style, both in the way he understands football and in his behaviour. He fits very well,” he added.
Real were on top throughout the game against last year's champions, who were clueless in front of Vinicius and ended the match with 10 men. Defender Ronald Araujo was sent off for a second yellow in the 71st minute after two fouls on the Brazilian.
Vinicius notched up early goals in the seventh and 10th minutes before Robert Lewandowski reduced the deficit in the 33rd.
Vinicius mimicked Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration after scoring the opener.
Vinicius extended Real's advantage in the 39th minute from the penalty spot, after being fouled by Araujo inside the box.
In the second half, Rodrygo struck Real's fourth from a rebound in the 64th minute.
Xavi is the eighth Barcelona manager to concede four or more goals in at least two games against Real Madrid in the entire history of the side, the first since Frank Rijkaard (4-2 in April 2005 and 4-1 in May 2008).
Real Madrid won the competition for the 13th time, avenging last year's final defeat by record 14-time winners Barcelona.
