Real Madrid and Al Hilal are in Group H of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. They will face each other later today.

Reaching the UEFA Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup trophies, the 2024-2025 season remains recorded as a major failure for Real Madrid.

The defeat of Barcelona in the La Liga title race, falling in the Copa del Rey final.

Losing in the Supercopa de Espana final crushed Real Madrid's ambitions in three major domestic competitions.

As a result of that failure, Carlo Ancelotti decided to resign one year earlier than his contract.

The veteran Italian coach has now officially taken over the reins of the Brazil national team, marking the end of his second tenure at Santiago Bernabeu.

As a replacement, Real Madrid appointed Xabi Alonso. This quick decision was made after Alonso left Bayer Leverkusen.

Printing history with that German club. Now, he returns to his old home where he once played in 236 official matches.

Winning various titles including La Liga and the Champions League. Alonso did not come with empty hands.

3 names have been added to the list of new players: Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Franco Mastantuono.

Although Mastantuono will only join after the Club World Cup.

This tournament will be Alonso's first test, even before the official season begins.

Real Madrid will chase their 6th title, after previously triumphing in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2022.

In Group H, Madrid is favored to top the group. They open their campaign against Al-Hilal.

Before facing Pachuca from Mexico, and Red Bull Salzburg from Austria.

Meanwhile, Al-Hilal's side is also going through a transition. Simone Inzaghi, who has just concluded his tenure at Inter Milan.

After suffering a crushing 0-5 defeat from PSG in the Champions League final, he now leads the team in Saudi Arabia.

Inter presented one Serie A title, two Coppa Italia trophies, and two Supercoppa Italia titles in four years of his tenure.

Hanya berselang sehari dari pengumuman kepergiannya dari Inter, Inzaghi resmi diperkenalkan sebagai pelatih baru Al-Hilal.

Its main task is to reclaim the Saudi Pro League championship title for the 2025-26 season after finishing second last season, trailing Al-Ittihad by 13 points.

However, before that, Inzaghi must overcome a major challenge against European giants Real Madrid, in the Group H opener.

Even as the underdog, Al-Hilal has a dangerous offensive arsenal.

They scored 95 goals in 34 matches last season in the Saudi Pro League, making them the most productive team in the league.

They still retain the memory of the fierce resistance when scoring three goals against Madrid in the final of the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup, even though they lost 5-3.

Unfortunately, Real Madrid appears weakened. The chances of Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, and Ferland Mendy playing are very slim.

Antonio Rudiger is also in doubt after undergoing knee surgery. Endrick, the young Brazilian forward, is almost certain to be absent due to a hamstring injury.

But the good news is, the two new signings by Alexander-Arnold and Huijsen, are set to make their debut.

At the front line, the attention is on Kylian Mbappe, who is racing against time to recover from an illness in order to be ready to lead the attack in the first match.

From the opponent's perspective, Inzaghi is likely to implement his favored 3-5-2 formation. Bono will guard the goal.

Defended by trio defenders Kalidou Koulibaly, Hassan Tambakti, and Ali Al-Bulayhi. Joao Cancelo who missed the last 6 games of the previous season.

Still striving to prove his fitness to be able to perform on the wing.

Aleksandar Mitrovic, who scored 28 goals in 36 matches last season, becomes the main focus of Al-Hilal's forward line as they face the challenge of Real Madrid.
