Real Madrid Secure Round of 16 Spot in 2025 FIFA Club World Cup

Real Madrid have secured their place in the knockout phase of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup taking place in the United States. Xabi Alonso‘s team has accumulated four points from their opening two matches.

Los Blancos began the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Al Hilal — followed by a 3-1 victory over Pachuca. These results have placed Madrid at the top of Group H, level with Salzburg in second position.

Despite having one match remaining, Madrid are guaranteed to advance to the round of 16. If they maintain their position at the top of the group, Jude Bellingham and his teammates could face the Group G runners-up, currently occupied by Manchester City.
