Real Madrid: Recent Form
Real Madrid, who lost the 2024/2025 La Liga title to Barcelona, finished the season strongly with three consecutive wins to secure second place and a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Pachuca: Recent Form
Mexican club Pachuca ended their season inconsistently, a poor run of form that has continued into their FIFA Club World Cup campaign.
Key Player to Watch: Gonzalo Garcia (Real Madrid)
The 21-year-old striker, who scored Real Madrid’s only goal against Al Hilal, poses a serious threat to any defence. He brilliantly unlocked Al Hilal’s backline to find the net and ended the game with the highest rating.
Key Player to Watch: Bryan Gonzalez (Pachuca)
The 22-year-old Mexican forward scored Pachuca’s lone goal in their 2-1 loss to Red Bull Salzburg. His impressive performance and well-taken goal were bright spots for the team.
