Team Preview, Form, and Standout Players

Following a 2nd placed finish in La Liga and being knocked out of the UEFA Champions League, Los Blancos are on the hunt to pick up silverware and the title of being the best club in the world. Real Madrid have been in fine form, their last four games being unbeaten.

Their opponents, Pachuca, had a poor campaign in Mexico, finishing in 8th spot. Now in the Club World Cup, Pachuca come in as Group H’s underdog. The last time out for the Mexican club was a 2-1 defeat against RB Salzburg.
