Real Madrid will play Barcelona in the Supercopa de España final on Sunday after securing a 3-0 win over Mallorca on Thursday.
Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo were among the goalscorers for Carlo Ancelotti's side at King Abdullah Sports City to keep their hopes of a record-equalling 14th title alive.
Both Bellingham and Rodrygo came closest to breaking the deadlock as Madrid controlled large periods of the first half but with no reward for their efforts.
However, Los Blancos finally broke through in the 63rd minute, with Bellingham managing to squeeze the ball past four Mallorca defenders on the line after Rodrygo's header hit the post and Kylian Mbappe saw his effort saved by Dominik Greif.
Madrid took the win in the second minute of stoppage time, when the hapless Martin Valjent turned Brahim Diaz's center into his own goal.
Rodrygo added further sparkle to the score in the closing moments by firing home Lucas Vazquez's pinpoint cross at the far post.

Data Debrief: Three is the magic number for Madrid
Madrid equaled the score from their most recent Supercopa de España match against Mallorca. Indeed, they also won 3–0 in the second leg of the 2003 tie, with Raul, Ronaldo and David Beckham on the scoresheet.
Los Blancos have now won three consecutive games in the league for the third time in their history, and they were worthy of their victory in Jeddah.
They finished the match with a massive expected goals (xG) total of 3.04 from their 28 shots, limiting their opponents to eight attempts, none of which hit target.
With a fifth straight win in all competitions, Ancelotti's side have now equaled their longest winning streak of the season and will look to continue their form against rivals Barca in Sunday's showpiece.
