Real Madrid Beat Juventus: Mbappé & Quarter-Finals

It was the most beautiful poster of these round of the club World Cup. In this shock between two European football giants, Real Madrid won (1-0) on Tuesday in Miami (United States) at the expense of Juventus Turin. Serious and rather solid since the start of the competition, the Merengue in Xabi Alonso sauce, now, are scary again after a missed spring (eliminated in the quarter -finals of C1, 2nd of the Liga and beaten in the King Cup final by Barça).

They will face this Sunday in the quarter -final the winner of the meeting between the Germans of Dortmund and the Mexicans of Monterrey this Sunday.

And we think we are already dreaming of a possible semi-final against PSG (which will challenge Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals) which would mark the reunion between Kylian Mbappé and his former club where he holds the record for the number of goals scored (256 goals all competitions).

Package in the first three games of Real Madrid at the Club World Cup after being the victim of an acute gastroenteritis which put it on the side, the captain of the Blues made his return to the Madrid attack at the end of the game by replacing Gonzalo Garcia 21 minutes from the end. A smooth recovery.

In a balanced encounter, Juventus first had the opportunity to take the lead. On a counterattack, Randal Kolo Muani appears alone against Courtois but the stung shot from the attacker loaned by PSG, passes just above (7th). In the process, it is Yildriz’s turn, countered by Tchouameni, who sees his shot pass right next (11th). Real Madrid reacts by Valverde but its two attempts are brilliantly pushed by the Turin porter Di Grégorio (30th, 45th).

Upon returning from the locker room, the Merengues make the difference. The Englishman Trent Alexander-Arnold sends a millimeter center around 6 meters where Gonzalo Garcia appears to mark a head smashered under the transversal (1-0). Author of 25 goals with the Real reserve (3rd division) This season, the young striker of 21S is effective in this world of clubs (3 goals and a decisive pass).

Drazy by climatic conditions (28 degrees with a humidity rate of 70 %), players struggle to get big opportunities. Real is satisfied with this goal in advance which makes him happy. The Spanish training continues its adventure in the competition with an affordable quarter -final next Sunday in East Rutherford.
