Alonso made one change from the opening draw and confirmed the lineup

Real Madrid hopes to win their first victory in the 2025 Club World Cup when they face Mexican side Pachuca.

Madrid was surprisingly tied to a 1-1 draw by Al Hilal in Xabi Alonso’s first responsibilities game.

The Los Blancos were not under Killian Mbappe for that contest in Miami, the front of France, where he was diagnosed with gastroenteritis.

Once again, Alonso, who was stolen from the French forward’s service, made one change to the first XI from Al Giral’s match.

With that change, we see Arda Guler coming for Rodrygo.

Guler takes the Brazilian position at Madrid’s front three after impressing the bench against Al Hilal.

Gonzalo Garcia replaced Mbappe in the Madrid group H opener, scoring only the club’s second goal.

He again leads the Madrid line, sandwiched between Guler and Vinicius juniors.
