There will be a non-European representative in the last square of the Club World Cup. With their feat against Manchester City (4-3 after extension), the Al-Hilal Saudis validated their ticket for the quarter-finals, where they face this Friday in Orlando the Brazilians of Fluminense, tombs of Inter Milan (2-0), however recent finalist of the Champions League.
In the recent history of the two clubs, the meeting is of capital importance. This is particularly true for Al-Hilal, a club held by the Saudi sovereign fund who has been spending without counting for years to offer this kind of moments of glory.
With his very cosmopolitan frame (Kalidou Koulibaly, Joao Cancelo, Yassine Bounou…) but experienced, he should have arms to face the winner of the Copa Libertadores 2023, led by the eternal Thiago Silva.
The quarter-final of the Club World Cup between Fluminense and Al-Hilal is to follow this Friday, July 4 at 9 p.m. on Dazn.
