Real Madrid easily defeated Juventus to win a ticket to the quarterfinals of the FIFA Club World Cup

(NLDO) – The only goal of young star Gonzalo Garcia decided the fate of the "European battle", helping Real Madrid enter the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup.

The match took place at a fairly high pace in the first 15 minutes, when Juventus entered the game confidently and even somewhat dominated Real Madrid. The Italian team almost took the lead in the 7th minute after Kolo Muani made a speedy escape and then lifted the ball over goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in a one-on-one position. Unfortunately, the ball went over the crossbar. This was also the clearest chance Juventus had during the match.

Kolo Muani missed a scoring opportunity in the 7th minute.

After being pressured in the early stages, Real Madrid gradually regained control of the game thanks to a dynamic midfield with Valverde, Bellingham and Arda Güler. In the 30th minute, Federico Valverde broke through on the right wing and passed the ball to Jude Bellingham to finish from very close range, but goalkeeper Di Gregorio used his feet to make an excellent save, saving Juventus.

After the break, Real Madrid increased the pace of the match and continuously threatened Juventus' goal. Goalkeeper Di Gregorio had to show his talent twice but still had to pick the ball out of the net in the 54th minute after continuous attacks from the white team.

\Alexander-Arnold crossed the ball into the penalty area for Gonzalo Garcia to head perfectly, putting the ball into the Italian team's net.

This was Gonzalo Garcia's third goal at this year's FIFA Club World Cup, a very impressive achievement for the young player chosen by coach Xabi Alonso to replace Kylian Mbappe when the French striker could not play from the beginning of the tournament.

Kylian Mbappé was brought onto the field in the 68th minute, his first appearance in the tournament. Although he did not really explode, Mbappé's presence helped Real Madrid maintain the initiative in the final minutes.

Coach Xabi Alonso's stars showed that they played better and better towards the end and if it weren't for the brilliance of goalkeeper Di Gregorio in goal, Juventus would not have been able to limit the number of goals conceded to 1.

However, the minimal victory was enough for Real Madrid to qualify for the FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinals, waiting to meet Dortmund or Monterrey in the quarterfinals on July 5 in New Jersey. With a balanced squad, strong squad depth and the return of Mbappé, Real Madrid emerged as one of the leading candidates to win the Club World Cup this year.
