It's a second consecutive European heavyweight clash for Real Madrid, as they face Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) after eliminating Juventus in the last 16.

Real Madrid seems to be gaining momentum under new manager Xabi Alonso, who took charge at the beginning of this tournament. The Spanish giants have now won three consecutive matches and have silenced critics who questioned their defensive capabilities by keeping two clean sheets in a row. Their chances in the CWC received another boost with the return of Kylian Mbappé from illness during the match against Juventus. This addition is especially significant, considering their remarkable record of 13 wins in their last 14 CWC matches (with one draw), which highlights their formidable presence in this tournament.
