As Real Madrid wins another trophy, the spotlight continues to shine on both Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham. Vinicius will take most of the credit for Real Madrid's 4-1 win against FC Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. This is expected since the Brazilian received the Man of the Match award for his performance at the Al Awal Park Stadium.

The number 7 for Real Madrid scored a 38-minute hat trick in the first half. Vinicius suffered a few injuries this season and hasn't played as many games as he could. Regardless, the Brazilian has six goals and four assists in 15 games of all competitions. Now with the Spanish Super Cup trophy, the Brazilian has won 10 trophies for Los Blancos.

Jude Bellingham provided a great assist for the first goal. The English midfielder continues to deliver for Los Blancos with more goal contributions. Bellingham is now at 17 goals and six assists in 23 games for Real Madrid. In his debut season, he also received three Player of the Month awards for Real Madrid and two Player of the Month awards in La Liga. Now he has won his first team trophy with Los Blancos. Both players are what the club should keep for many years.

Andriy Lunin delivers another impactful performance and looks to be Real Madrid's keeper for many years

After Kepa's mistakes in the semifinal against Atletico Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti decided to start Andriy Lunin in goal, and the Ukrainian did not disappoint. Lunin made five saves against Barcelona and conceded one goal; a great volley by Robert Lewandowski. Four of the saves were made inside the box and three were diving saves.

He has conceded fewer goals than Kepa this season and looked more solid in the net than the keeper loaned out from Chelsea FC. In La Liga, Lunin played eight games and conceded four. He also kept four clean sheets out of eight games. Lunin should be considered an important player for the club's future, as he became an essential asset to the team during the absence of Thibaut Courtois.
