Real Madrid delivered a historic Sunday by winning two international titles they had never lifted before, one in football and one in basketball, just a few hours apart. The first came in the morning as the Juvenil A side beat Santiago Wanderers to claim the Under-20 Intercontinental Cup. Later in the afternoon, the basketball first team defeated Olympiacos to secure the EuroLeague Super Cup in its inaugural edition.

  • The Juvenil A side beat Santiago Wanderers to become world champions at under-20 level at the Bernabéu.
  • More than 50,000 fans attended the Under-20 Intercontinental Cup final.
  • The title completed a four-trophy season for the academy side: Under-20 Intercontinental Cup, Youth League, league and Champions Cup.
  • The basketball first team defeated Olympiacos to win the first ever EuroLeague Super Cup.
  • Real Madrid reached 101 official titles in their basketball section.

Juvenil A win the Under-20 Intercontinental Cup in front of their own fans at the Bernabéu

The morning brought the first moment of celebration for Madrid fans. Juvenil A faced Santiago Wanderers, the youth Libertadores champions, with the title of best under-20 team in the world on the line. The match took place at the Santiago Bernabéu, where attendance exceeded 50,000 spectators, an unusual figure for a youth football game that underlines the appeal of this competition.

The victory makes Real Madrid champions of the Under-20 Intercontinental Cup, a tournament that pits the UEFA Youth League winners against the youth Libertadores champions. The success does more than add another trophy to the cabinet: it caps a remarkable season in which the academy players had already won the Youth League, the league title and the Champions Cup.

A four-trophy season that confirms the academy's dominance

The intercontinental title closes a nearly perfect year for the club's academy. With the Under-20 Intercontinental Cup, Juvenil A have now won four trophies in the same season. That run of success reinforces their status as the benchmark in European youth football and highlights the strength of the club's development project.

The importance Real Madrid gave to the achievement was made clear by Florentino Pérez stepping onto the pitch for the medal ceremony and official photographs with the players and coaching staff. It is not common for the president to join the celebrations on the field in this kind of fixture, which says a lot about the significance of a trophy that now opens a new chapter in the club's silverware history.

Basketball take revenge on Olympiacos and win the EuroLeague Super Cup

The celebration continued in the afternoon, away from the Bernabéu. Real Madrid's basketball team faced Olympiacos in a final with an extra layer of motivation: it was a rematch of the most recent EuroLeague title game. The Spanish side did not miss the chance and took the victory, becoming the first champions of the EuroLeague Super Cup.

The EuroLeague Super Cup is a new created trophy with a fresh format, and the first name on it is already Real Madrid. Its value should not be underestimated: it is the tenth different official title won by the basketball section, further proof of the team's ability to compete and win in every competition and of their continued dominance in European basketball.

Real Madrid basketball reach 101 official trophies

With the EuroLeague Super Cup, Real Madrid's basketball section reached a round milestone: 101 official titles. Until now, the cabinet included 11 EuroLeague crowns, 38 league titles, 29 Copa del Rey trophies, 10 Spanish Super Cups, 5 Intercontinental Cups, 4 European Cup Winners' Cups, 1 Korak Cup, 1 ULEB title and 1 Latin Cup. The new trophy extends a record that has no comparison in Spanish basketball.

Sunday's events left a rare image in world sport: two international titles, both new to a single club's trophy room, celebrated on the same day. Football and basketball came together to give Madrid fans a double success that now belongs among the most singular achievements in the club's recent history.
