Real Madrid defeated Mallorca 3-0 in the Spanish Super Cup semifinal today, but the match's ending was marred by controversy.

Details: After Real Madrid scored their third goal, Jude Bellingham approached Mallorca defender Pablo Maffeo from behind and struck him on the head.

This was likely a reaction to Maffeo’s ongoing provocations toward Vinícius Júnior throughout the match.

The incident angered Mallorca players and led to a mass brawl between the two teams as the match concluded.

If La Liga’s disciplinary committee deems Bellingham's actions a violation, he could face a suspension.

Reminder: In a similar incident, Vinícius Júnior received a red card in Real Madrid’s last league match for a foul on Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski. He was subsequently suspended for two matches.
