Madrid's Five-Goal Showing Sparks Super Cup Fry-Ready Firepower

Match Preview: Madrid's Five-Goal Show Forges Super Cup Momentum

Spanish star Raúl Asensio commented on Real Madrid's big win over Betis ahead of the Spanish Super Cup.

Real Madrid crushed Betis 5-1 on Sunday at the Santiago Bernabéu, in La Liga matchday 18.

The hosts’ goals came from Gonzalo García with a hat-trick, plus Raúl Asensio and Fran García in the 20th, 50th, 56th, 82nd and 93rd minutes.

Asensio told AS before the game that the display showed a different side from the end of last year, and that the result was important as preparation for what lies ahead.

On his first Real Madrid goal in a while, he said scoring in front of the fans was special, a fine cross from Rodrygo.

Asked about the Super Cup pursuit, he said it’s crucial to feel good today ahead of a tournament with strong opponents.

Madrid are set to play in the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, facing Atlético Madrid in the semi-final on January 8.

Punchline 1: If precision were a sport, Madrid’s strike rate tonight would qualify as Olympic-level—direct hits all over the net, not a single sparkler in the crowd.

Punchline 2: When a five-goal display is your warm-up act, you know the Super Cup isn’t a cameo—it’s the main event, and the trophy is basically saying “bring the confetti.”
