Qualified for the semi-finals of the Club World Cup after its victory against Borussia Dortmund (3-2), Real Madrid will therefore face PSG on July 9 to fight for a place in the final. However, the Merengues will not be able to count on one of their strong men of the competition.
Author of a very solid performance during almost the entire meeting, the young central defender Dean Huijsen received a red card in additional time against the BVB, for a last resort on Serhou Guirassy in his own surface. The latter then transformed the penalty. To replace the former Bournemouth player, Xabi Alonso will probably have to count on the Spaniard Raúl Asencio. The absence of Huijsen is good news for the men of Luis Enrique as the young Huijsen impresses for his beginnings with the Merengues, but for their part, the Parisians will also be deprived of Willian Pacho for the same reasons.
