Real Madrid Sweeps RB Salzburg in Club World Cup Quarterfinal Sight
Real Madrid conducts a brief demo during the Club World Cup, eliminating RB Salzburg
Heck yes, Real Madrid is cruising through the Club World Cup! The Spanish powerhouse finished their group stage with a bang, walloping RB Salzburg 3-0. This victory sets them up for a superb showdown with Juventus Turin in the quarterfinals. It's going down on Tuesday (21:00 on DAZN and live ticker on ntv.de).
Salzburg, coached by the fellow German Thomas Letsch, who previously graced VfL Bochum, bit the dust in the tournament. In the other game in Nashville, Al-Hilal snatched second place in the group with a 2-0 (1-0) victory over CF Pachuca, thanks to a goal from Salem Al-Dawsari (22nd minute). Al-Hilal will take on Manchester City in the quarterfinals early Tuesday (03:00 on DAZN and live ticker on ntv.de).
Double the Trouble for Salzburg
Two goals before the break gave Real the edge they needed to win. Brazilian Vinicius Junior (40th minute) opened the scoring for the team under the guidance of ex-Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso, with Federico Valverde adding another in stoppage time (45+3). Salzburg couldn't find a way back into the game, and Gonzalo Garcia (84th) rounded out the victory in the final stages.
The other game showed Al-Hilal taking the lead through Salem Al-Dawsari (22nd minute). Despite the Mexicans having more shots, they just couldn't find the precision needed to score. In added time (90+5), Marcos Leonardo ensured the win for the new coach Simone Inzaghi's team.
Sadly, no official record or results for a Real Madrid vs Juventus match in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup have emerged as of yet. With the tournament unfolding from June 14 to July 13, 2025, across various US venues like the MetLife Stadium (New Jersey/New York) and Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta), among others, this mind-blowing match might still be up their sleeves. Keep your eyes peeled for any updates on the official FIFA website or reliable sports news outlets. But for now, let's cheer on Real Madrid!
