After overcoming Al Ahly in the semi-final, Real Madrid are aiming to become the first side in Club World Cup history to win the competition five times after lifting the trophy in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018. Goals from Vincius Junior and Fede Valverde seemed to confirm Los Blancos’ place in the final, but a Ali Maaloul penalty in the 65th minute made things interesting with 25 minutes to go. Despite Luka Modric’s missed penalty, stoppage time finishes from Rodrygo and Sergio Arribas, who had just come onto the pitch, ensured Madrid’s place in the final for the fifth time in the last nine years.

Carlo Ancelotti is aiming to become just the second manager after Pep Guardiola to win the competition three times.

Opponents, Al Hilal stunned Flamengo in the semi-final to become the first ever Saudi Arabian side to reach the Club World Cup final with a dramatic 3-2 win on Tuesday. Two first half penalties from Salem Al Dawsari and a 70th minute strike from former Atletico Madrid forward Luciano Vietto helped set up a famous tie with Real Madrid, as they aim to make even more history and become the first side from the Asian federation to lift the trophy on Saturday.

No side has scored more goals (32) or won more games (10) in the competition’s history than Los Blancos, while only five of the 18 CWC finals have seen both teams score.
