Both Juventus and Manchester City of Group G can book their places in the next round with victories over Wydad and Al Ain in the first and last games of the day respectively.

Between those fixtures, Real Madrid aim for their first win when they take on Pachuca, while Salzburg go head-to-head with Al-Hilal.


Player to watch 🔍

It is safe to say that most casual observers had little idea of who Real Madrid youngster Gonzalo García was prior to their opening game of the tournament.

However, he was given a chance in attack due to Kylian Mbappé's absence through illness over more established first teamers and made the most of it by scoring his side's goal in a 1-1 draw.

With the Frenchman to miss out again, García has earned the opportunity to keep his jersey. Has Xabi Alonso unearthed another big talent?


Must-watch video 🎥

This angle from the referee's point of view for Jhon Arias' stunning free-kick for Fluminense was a thing of beauty.


Fun facts 📊

  • European clubs hold a 100% record against Moroccan opposition in Club World Cup contests.
  • Real Madrid and Pachuca meet for just the second time - having faced off for the first time six months ago in the Intercontinental Cup in Qatar, where Los Blancos ran out 3-0 winners.

  • Salzburg 1-1 Al-Hilal
  • Manchester City 3-0 Al Ain
