Club World Cup finals opened early! Real Madrid faces new UEFA Champions League champions

In the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup in the early morning of July 6, Real Madrid faced the challenge of Dortmund, forming a highly-watched focus event. In the first half of the game, Gonzalo Garcia and Fran Garcia scored two goals for Real Madrid in succession, giving the game a 2-0 lead. In the stoppage time of the second half, the game became more and more compact, and Dortmund struggled to recover two goals, but Mbappe's goal finally secured the victory, helping Real Madrid defeat their opponents 3-2 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

In the group stage, Real Madrid also performed well, entering the knockout stage with an unbeaten record of 2 wins and 1 draw. In the subsequent games, they beat Juventus 1-0, while young player Gonzalo scored the only goal in the game. After the first four games, Real Madrid's attacking firepower was huge, scoring 8 goals in total and conceding only 2 goals. By contrast, Dortmund was unbeaten in the group stage with a record of 2 wins and 1 draw, but only won Monterrey 2-1 in the knockout round, and spent that round with difficulty.

In this game, both teams sent out the strongest lineup. For Real Madrid, Gonzalo and Veniceus form the front line, and the main players such as Bellingham, Valverde, Guerre and Rudiger all made their debut. Dortmund faces the dilemma of Bellingham Jr. being absent due to suspension, with Gilasi, Sabitze and Adiemi leading the start.

As the beginning of the game, Real Madrid quickly controlled the rhythm on the field. In the 10th minute, Guerre's pick-up pass broke the deadlock, and Gonzalo's volley shot gave Real Madrid a fantastic start. Ten minutes later, Arnold made a cross from the right, and Fran Garcia's shot allowed Real Madrid to win another goal, expanding the lead to 2-0.

In this process, Real Madrid's defense was very stable, leaving Dortmund almost helpless. It was difficult for only sporadic counterattacks to threaten Real Madrid's defense line. After a relatively stable half, Real Madrid secured its leading position with their ball control advantages and efficient shooting data.

Entering the second half, Dortmund obviously adjusted his strategy, strengthened his offense, and created some good shooting opportunities. Although Real Madrid relied on substitutions to maintain the pace of the game, in stoppage time, Byer scored a goal for Dortmund, leaving another suspense to the game. Mbappe then scored and rewritten the score to 3-1. Although Dortmund scored another goal and finally ended the game 3-2, Real Madrid successfully locked a ticket to the semi-finals.

Next Real Madrid will face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals, which can be regarded as a final staged in advance. The two teams echoed north and south, with star players gathering, with a total value of up to 2.38 billion euros, of which Real Madrid's total value is 1.33 billion euros and Paris's 1.05 billion euros. This heavy showdown is undoubtedly worth the attention of all fans.
