This Saturday, with goals from Gonzalo García and Fran García, the Merengue team beat Borussia Dortmund Alemán 3-2 and advanced to the semifinal, in which he will face no less than the Paris Saint Germain, current monarch of the Champions Legue, who by that same score exceeded Bayern Munich.

In addition to the commercial success that the tournament has meant with that new format, with 32 participating teams of all confederations, in the sporty aspect, against all forecasts, the championship has been very attractive.
Although many teams and players arrived tired of the demanding calendar, the technical level of the event has been good. The United States continues to get ready for the 2026 World Cup, which will organize together with Mexico and Canada, in which the hosts and FIFA have the challenge to counteract the heat of the American summer.
For Real Madrid it was a procedure match, with a tight end
In its best presentation at the Club World Cup, Real Madrid begins to show in the field the idea of its new coach, Xabi Alonso, an intense, practical and proactive team, insurance in defense and forceful in attack.
After its ductive start against the Saudi Hilal (1-1), the white box chained four online wins, 3-1 over Pachuca de México, 3-0 against Austrian Salzburg, 1-0 against Juventus of Italy and now 3-2 against Borussia Dortmund.
As soon as the duel lasted 20 minutes, those that Madrid needed and get a difference of two goals, first with Gonzalo García, before an assistance from Arda Guller and then through Fran García, before Trent Alexander Arnold's pass.
A goal on Maximilian Beier's time seemed to decorate the result, but Kylian Mbappé immediately put the 3-1 on his 44th goal of the first season wearing the Madrid shirt.
Not everything was happiness for meringues because before the final whistle Dean Huijsen saw the red by a penalty he committed and will be low in the semifinal against the PSG. The final 3-2 was the work of Serhou Gunchesy and in the last action of the game the goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois saved the draw, in a tight end that had nothing to do with what was the commitment.
