Overview
- Real Madrid’s Under-20 side defeated Chile’s Santiago Wanderers 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday, September 19, 2026 to lift the Under-20 Intercontinental Cup.
- Daniel Yáñez opened the scoring and Fran Santamaría and Roberto Martín added late goals to secure the win for Madrid.
- The match was shaped by disciplinary incidents: Alexander Dubo was sent off with a straight red in the 25th minute and Valenzuela and Carvacho were later dismissed, leaving Wanderers with eight players.
- Several youth players who have trained with José Mourinho’s first team featured in the final and both Mourinho and club president Florentino Pérez attended the game.
- The trophy is the first Under-20 Intercontinental Cup for Real Madrid and it strengthens La Fábrica’s case as a pathway to the senior squad while increasing scrutiny on how discipline affected the final result.
