Real Madrid claimed the FIFA Intercontinental Cup title with a commanding 3-0 victory over Mexico's Pachuca in the final held in Doha, Qatar. Goals from Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo, and Vinícius Júnior sealed the win for the Champions League holders.

The Spanish giants broke the deadlock in the 37th minute with a well-crafted team move. Jude Bellingham initiated the play with a precise pass to Vinícius, who skilfully bypassed the goalkeeper before unselfishly setting up Mbappé to slot the ball into an empty net, putting Real Madrid 1-0 ahead.

Rodrygo doubled the lead in the 52nd minute with a moment of brilliance. Sprinting past two defenders, he cut inside and curled a sublime shot into the top corner with his right foot.

Vinícius completed the dominant performance in the 83rd minute, converting from the penalty spot to secure a routine win for Los Blancos.

The victory marks Real Madrid's second trophy of the season, following their triumph in the UEFA Super Cup. It also adds to Carlo Ancelotti's illustrious managerial record, bringing his tally to 15 trophies with the club.
