Real Madrid vs Al Hilal FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Match Teams Preview
Real Madrid Preview
Carlo Ancelotti’s final season in his second stint at Real Madrid ended in disappointment, with the club losing both La Liga and Copa del Rey to a resurgent Barcelona and exiting the Champions League in the quarterfinals. Despite signing French superstar Kylian Mbappe from PSG, Los Blancos failed to replicate their treble-winning form, as injuries and inconsistency took a toll.
To usher in a new era, the club appointed former midfield legend Xabi Alonso, who made headlines by guiding Bayer Leverkusen to an unbeaten Bundesliga title, ending Bayern Munich’s dominance. Returning to Madrid—where he played over 200 games and won multiple trophies—Alonso brings a modern, tactical approach to the dugout.
Just a month into his role, Alonso will lead Madrid into the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, with the club aiming to bounce back by claiming international silverware. A strong showing could quickly validate the board’s decision and reinforce Alonso’s growing managerial reputation—but handling the pressure at a club like Real Madrid will be his first true test.
Real Madrid Predicted Lineup
Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Asencio, Huijsen, Garcia; Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius
Al Hilal Review
Real Madrid are favourites to top Group H—featuring Al-Hilal, Pachuca, and Salzburg—but their opening clash against Al-Hilal promises drama. The Saudi Arabian giants are now led by Simone Inzaghi, who takes charge just a day after his final match with Inter—a heavy defeat to PSG in the Champions League final. Despite that setback, Inzaghi’s tenure at Inter was marked by restoring the club’s stature in Serie A, making him a major acquisition for Al-Hilal.
His tactical style, however, contrasts with Al-Hilal’s traditionally attacking setup, and how the team adapts remains a key question. The club secured their place in the expanded 32-team Club World Cup by winning the 2021 AFC Champions League—a record-extending eighth title—but endured a poor campaign last season, which led to Jorge Jesus’s dismissal.
Now under pressure to return Al-Hilal to the top of the Saudi Pro League and Asia, Inzaghi’s immediate test comes against a Real Madrid side that defeated them 5-3 in the 2023 Club World Cup final. With a squad bolstered by star signings after the PIF-backed takeover, Al-Hilal believe they’re better prepared this time to challenge the 15-time European champions and shake up Group H.
Al Hilal Predicted Lineup
Bono; Tambakti, Koulibaly, Al-Bulayhi; Cancelo, Neves, Kanno, Milinkovic-Savic, Malcolm; Mitrovic, S. Al-Dawsari
