Real Madrid’s quest to secure a record-extending sixth Club World Cup continues on Tuesday, as they take on Juventus in the round of 16.
After struggling their way through Matchday 1 against Al Hilal, Xabi Alonso’s Madrid have since shown impressive resilience and swagger to qualify for the knockout stages as Group H winners.
First, Pachuca were cast aside despite Raul Asencio’s early dismissal, then RB Salzburg were turned over without much fuss as superstar Vinícius Júnior came to the fore.
Their task in the last 16 is far from simple as they prepare for their first competitive meeting with Juventus since 2018. The Bianconeri aren’t the giants they once were, but Igor Tudor has at least stumbled upon stability during his tenure so far.
Here’s how Madrid could line up for their round of 16 clash in Miami.
