Mallorca made it difficult for Real Madrid in the first half of Thursday's semi-final, but Jude Bellingham sent Los Blancos ahead just past the hour, before two goals in stoppage time saw Carlo Ancelotti's side advance to the final.
Real Madrid have already won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup this season, so they are going in search of a third trophy on Sunday evening, and three more could follow in La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey.
It would be fair to say that Ancelotti's side were not always at their best in the first half of the campaign, but there have been signs that things are starting to come together in recent weeks, which would spell bad news for their rivals at home and in Europe.
Ancelotti's side will bring a five-game winning run into this contest, including three victories this year, beating Valencia and Deportiva Minera in the league and Copa del Rey respectively before the three-goal success over Mallorca.

在周四的半决赛上半场,马洛卡给皇马制造了困难,但是贝灵汉在补时阶段的两个进球帮助安切洛蒂的球队进入了决赛。
皇家马德里本赛季已经赢得了欧洲超级杯和国际足联洲际杯,所以他们将在周日晚上寻求第三座奖杯,接下来的三个奖杯可能是西甲、欧洲冠军联赛和国王杯。
公平地说,安切洛蒂的球队在前半赛季并不总是处于最佳状态,但最近几周有迹象表明事情开始好转,这对他们在国内和欧洲的对手来说都是坏消息。
安切洛蒂的球队将在本次比赛中取得五连胜,其中包括今年的三场胜利,分别在联赛和国王杯中击败瓦伦西亚和拉科鲁尼亚,然后以三球战胜马洛卡。
