Real Madrid only needs draw against Salzburg to advance to round of 16

Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid are one step away from reaching the round of 16 in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup — his team only needs a draw against RB Salzburg.

Los Blancos currently lead Group H with four points from two matches — the result of a 1-1 draw against Al Hilal and a 3-1 victory over Pachuca.

Real Madrid and RB Salzburg both have four points, but the Spanish side leads thanks to better goal difference — +2 compared to +1. Meanwhile, Al Hilal remains in third place with two points and Pachuca is stranded at the bottom without points.
