Time-8 pm .

Two European giants in the round leather game , Real Madrid faces Juventus in an explosive round of 16 knockout match at the on going 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in USA at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami .for a spot for the quarter finals of the campaign .
The Spanish outfit picked seven points from their three group games to top Group H , while the Old Lady , Juventus finished second with six points in Group G from three matches in the group stage .

It was far from easy for Real Madrid as they struggled in their first match to get a draw from the Saudi Arabian outfit , Al Hilal 1-1 .
But they manages to secure the round of 16 spot by over coming Pachuca and Red Bull Salzburg respectively .
They had their best performance against Red Bull Sazbirg with three clinical goals from Viniciis Jr, Fredrico Velverlde and Gonzalo Garcia
Under the new management of former Liverpool player and Bayer Lerveekuesn Coach , Xaxi Alonso have been tasked to take Real Madrid back to the top of the Spanish La Liga after a disappointing 2024/2025 season .
New signings have started to arrive and even part of their campaign in the on going CWC, like Trent Alexander Arnold , Dean Huijisen for the Los Blanco’s and many more will be part of the team before the transfer window closes
The two European giants met last in the quarter finals of the 2017/2018 champions league when the Old Lady won by 3-1- but Los Blanco’s qualified on goals aggregate of 4-3

Juventus showed their superb football prowess and skills with their excellent performance during the group stage of this campaign with two victories over Al Anin ,5-0 as well as rough riding African represnetsives , Wydad FC of Morocco , 4-1 to comolete the riot act in the group stage .
They were at per with Premeishio heavy weight , Man City but went down poorly ,5-2 in their last group games with the English team , this coming second in group G and City claiming the first position.
Manager , Igor Tudor would not have loved to meet the Los Blancos at this time ,but a win will set up a quarter finals clash with either Borrrusia Dortmund or Sergio Aguero s Monterrey of Mexico .
The last time they won the Serie A title was in 2019/2020 season , but came fourth last season and that has been their position in Serie A for past three seasons out of five .
On head to head , Real Madrid has an upper hand , they liked horns 22 times with Los Blanco’s winning 10 times against Juventus nine with only two draws .

Injury hit players in the Real Madrid squad like Antonio Rudiger who have only a cramp in their last match will be back today as well as Kylian Mbappe who have not featured for Los Blanco’s in this Club World Cup this year due to illness will back on the bench , he has resumed training earlier than now ahead of today.
Elder Militao is likely to start , while Carvajal and Eduardo Camavinga David Alaba ,Endrick and Ferland Mendy remain sidelined .
Los Blanco’s Head Coach , Alonso is likely to resort to their usual 3-5-2 formation with Aurelien Tchouameni at the back while pally maker , Viniciis Junior and Gonzalo Garcia who has been in superb form lately will continue with their good works in their final group games ,this Tuesday .

Definitely there will be a massive change in the Igor Tudor line up that lost 5-2 to Man City in their group games .
Khephen Thuram is set to return to the engine room or mid field pack together with fellow returnees , Kenan Yildiz , Francisco Concecaio , Randal Kolo Muani for today’s cracker in the final third of the field
Left side wing back ,Andrea Cambiasso will be available on the left full back .

Predictions .

We expect a very difficult match today , but Real Madrid with their good play in their last outing against Red Bull Salzburg is a good testimony of how todays encounter will end but Juventus , should also not be taken for granted by Los Blanco’s , irrespective of their past records against the Old Lady .
We may experience a long night stretching into extra time and possibly , sudden death penalties .

Real Madrid 2-1 Or 1-1.

Happy Viewing , Happy New Month of July .
