Real Madrid and Al-Hilal compete this Wednesday for the Club World Cup (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
After Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, it is another seeded of this club World Cup that makes its entry into the running. All eyes will necessarily be on Florida, this Wednesday evening, when Real Madrid made its big debut in the tournament against al-Hilal at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami (kick-off at 9 p.m.). A match that sounds like the start of a new chapter for the White House. Despite two trophies won (the European Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup), Real, far from its standards, still runs after a major trophy.
This club World Cup will above all be an opportunity to discover the plans of Xabi Alonso. Renowned for his offensive precepts, the Spanish technician returns to the fold to succeed Carlo Ancelotti. Its meticulous approach will contrast with the smooth management of the legendary Italian. Can the 2010 world champion impose his requirements on Kylian Mbappé in defensive work? It will be one of the curiosity of this tournament, just like the first steps of Trent Alexander-Arnold. Opposite, the Saudis of Al-Hilal will rely on a few well-known heads in European football, such as Moroccan goalkeeper Bono, the Serbian midfielder Milinkovic-Savic or the Brazilian striker Malcolm.
The expected compos
Real Madrid : Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Asencio, Huijsen, Garcia; Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Vinicius, Mbappé.
Al-Hilal: Bono; Tambakti, kulibaly, al-bulayhi; Cancelo, kanno, neves, milinkovic-savic, S. al-dawsari; Malcolm, mitrovi.
