| Goal Door Gonzalo Garcia at 55 ‘, 1 – 0 |
Thibault Courtois and Co. are already in the quarterfinals of the World Cup for clubs. For the time being it is without too much shine at the Royal, but thanks to a goal from Gonzalo Garcia in the hour, the Juventus sent home. And still good news: Kylian Mbappé returned between the lines after weeks of illness troubles.
Real Madrid does not yet hide under Xabi Alonso, but they will continue to win.
Against Juventus it had to come again gradually in the game and it got away a few times in the initial phase. Yildiz again showed flashes of his talent, but lacked efficiency. And Fortunately, Thibaut Courtois also stood in front of the Royal weather.
The fact that his team mates with praise this week, he thanked today with another classy performance between the posts.
And so Real was able to fight in the game under the impetus of the ever -eager Valverde and the ever -busy Arda Güler. And in the hour the inevitable happened: Gonzalo Garcia nodded the 1-0 after an assist from newcomer Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Juventus almost immediately came to the same level, but Francisco Conceicao saw his bang rooted cleverly by Courtois. The small lead of Real then remained, despite some danger on both sides, on the scoreboard.
At Juventus, Samuel Mbangula remained glued to the bank for the entire game. At Real, Mbappé – in its own words, made five kilos lighter – his comeback after weeks of illness.
In the quarterfinals, Real Madrid will play against the winner of the game between the German Borussia Dortmund (with Julien Duranville) and the Mexican Monterrey. Those clubs meet on Tuesday night (3 hours of Belgian time) in Atlanta.
Gonzalo Garcia can score for Real Madrid. The assist comes in the name of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
