Without forcing its talent but with a master's degree at all times, Real Madrid composted its ticket for the semi-finals of the Club World Cup by having Juventus (1-0). A logical and unadorned success, which carries the mark of a new nugget, Gonzalo García, decisive scorer in the absence at the kick -off of Kylian Mbappé, who made his comeback at the end of the match. The Real of Xabi Alonso continues its rise in power and asserts itself as an immense favorite for the world title.
Real as master, frustrated Juve
The final score is narrow, but it does not reflect the physiognomy of a one -way encounter. Because Real dominated its subject of the head and shoulders, creating a multitude of frank opportunities. But be it Bellingham (30th), valverde twice (46th, 61st) or Tchouaméni (83rd), Madrilenians came up against an excellent Michele Di Gregorio in Turin goals. Juventus may feed immense regrets on a single action: this face-to-face completely missed by Randal Kolo Muani, whose lob was largely above the goal of Courtois in the 8th minute. The turning point of the match, without a doubt, because the Italians would never be so dangerous again.
Garcia shines, Mbappé returns: Real validates the essential
Gonzalo García, the next generation is already there
The delivery for the Merengue club finally came from a 21 -year -old kid who continues to impress and score points. Already a double goalscorer in hen, Gonzalo García, that we already nicknamed the “New Raúl”, has still struck. On a millimeter center of Trent Alexander-Arnold, he rose higher than everyone in the area to place an authoritarian head, worthy of an “old biscard”, who left no chance to the Turin porter (54th). A goal that rewarded Madrid domination and confirmed the emergence of a new talent within the White House.
The king's return and the dream of a shock against PSG
This goal also allowed Xabi Alonso to manage the end of the match with confidence and offer its first minutes in the competition to Kylian Mbappé. Having entered the applause twenty minutes from the end after recovering from a virus, the Frenchman was able to stretch his legs without the slightest pressure. Perfect management of his case. Real therefore quietly advances towards his quarter-final, where he will face the winner of Dortmund-Monterrey, with a possible dream semi-final in front of his former club, PSG. A perspective that must already make the number 9 Madrid salivate.
One more step towards the roof of the world
This Real Madrid seems to have found its cruise rate. Serious, applied and carried by an uninhibited youth who knows how to take over from their stars when necessary, it seems cut to conquer this world title. Victory against Juventus is only a stage, but it confirms an impressive rise in power and a foolproof serenity. Future adversaries are warned.
