On June 27, in the last round of Group H of the 2025 Club World Cup group stage, Real Madrid showed their true colors in the match against Austrian team Salzburg Red Bull, and finally defeated their opponent 3-0, ranking first in the group and will face Juventus in the 1/8 final. In this game, Venice helped the team to score the first record, and Valverde and Garcia scored one after another, helping the team secure the victory. At this point, Real Madrid and Riyadh Crescent have qualified from Group H, and the latter has also become the only Asian team to advance to the top 16 in this Club World Cup!

In this game, Real Madrid, which has world stars such as Mbappe and Bellingham, was listed as a favorite for the championship by the outside world. In Group H, in addition to Real Madrid, there are Riyadh Crescent from Saudi Arabia, Pachuca from Mexico, and Red Bull from Salzburg from Austria. Among the four teams, Real Madrid, with the highest overall value, is undoubtedly the most powerful contender in the group's top spot. In the first round of the group stage, facing the resilient Riyadh Crescent, Real Madrid, lacking Mbappe, was tied by their opponents and failed to score all three points.

in the second round against Pachuca, who is weak in this group, Real Madrid's condition improved. With the scoring of Bellingham, Guillail and Valverde, they finally defeated their opponent 3-1 and got a key three-pointer. This is also the first victory that the new coach Alonso has led the team since taking office. In the last round of the group stage, Real Madrid's opponent was Salzburg Red Bull. This team from Austria has a total value of 170 million euros. It has won the Austrian top league and cup championships 17 times and has certain strength.

Salzburg Red Bulls are good at pressing tactics at high positions, and head coach Thomas Lech's on-the-spot dispatch is also excellent. Dogles, Gloch, Gadot, and goalkeeper Schrager are the team's main core players. According to statistics, Real Madrid remained unbeaten with 14 wins and 3 draws in the Club World Cup. Whether Real Madrid can continue this record in this game with Red Bull Salzburg has become a major highlight. Mbappe continues to be absent in this game. Real Madrid's starting lineup is led by Bellingham and Garcia, and Courtois, Rudiger, Valverde, Veniceus and Guerre all play together.

Salzburg Red Bull's starting lineup consists of Zaiskitsky, Rasmusen, Diabat, Gadot, Gloch and Ratkov. In the first half, Real Madrid performed positively on the offensive end and created threatening shots many times. Veniceus scored the first goal to help the team take the lead, Valverde scored a goal before the end of the half and Real Madrid ended the first half with a 2-0 lead. In the second half, Real Madrid still firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. With Garcia's goal, Real Madrid won the whole game 3-0.
