The Club World Cup will meet its second finalist this Wednesday. Real Madrid will face Al Ahly, at 4 pm (Brasília time), in Rabat.
Real Madrid arrives for the match without several highlights. Goalkeeper Courtois, defender Éder Militão and striker Benzema didn’t even travel to this clash. All stayed in Spain and should play only if the Spanish team goes to the final.
On the other hand, coach Carlo Ancelotti will have the Brazilians Rodrygo and Vinícius Júnior. The meringues arrived in Morocco with a speech extolling the competition.
In terms of lineup, Ancelotti should save more starters. Real Madrid has been struggling with the run of games this season.
On the other side, Al Ahly goes to its third match in the league. The Egyptians went through Auckland City and Seattle Sounders. Now, they seek to surprise and eliminate a European in the semifinals for the first time.
