Real Madrid advanced to the Club World Cup ‘semis’ with a bittersweet victory against Borussia Dortmund (3-2). The Whites had the game under control, but messed it up in added time<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

The 2025 Club World Cup already has its four semi-finalists. As expected, Real Madrid<\/a> delivered in their match against Borussia Dortmund<\/a>, rounding off a victory with suffering at the end (3-2)<\/strong> at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.<\/p>

Xabi Alonso’s team confirmed the good image shown in the second half against Juventus (1-0)<\/a>, with very effective pressure in the opponent’s half and the inspiration of their new goalscorer, the youth player Gonzalo Garc\u00eda, in the opponent’s area.<\/p>

With the victory, Madrid gets among the best four in the tournament organized by FIFA and, now, will face Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> in ‘semis’<\/strong>. On Saturday, early in the morning, Luis Enrique’s team left Bayern Munich behind (2-0) in a great match in Atlanta.<\/p>

Despite finishing the match with two sent off, PSG showed the mettle of the current European champion. The goals of Desir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9 and Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9<\/strong>, the latter in added time, sealed a dramatic victory for the Gauls.<\/p>

Madrid paved the way for their qualification in just 20 minutes<\/h2>

Real, on the other hand, had much fewer problems to get rid of a Dortmund that came from eliminating Monterrey (1-0). Gonzalo Garc\u00eda opened the scoring in the 10th minute<\/strong>, with another remarkable finish after a cross from Arda G\u00fcler from the left.<\/p>

FORWARD PICHICHIIIIIIIIIII \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25

The ’30’ appeared totally alone between the centre-backs and finished with a touch in front of goalkeeper Kobel, thus reaching 4 goals in the World Cup. Despite the early advantage, the ‘merengues’ continued to attack and, in the 20th minute, the sentence came at the feet of Fran Garc\u00eda<\/strong>.<\/p>

REAL MADRID IS COMPLETELY UNLEASHED! \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25

The full-back took advantage of Borussia’s defensive passivity to enter completely alone from the left<\/strong>, blasting Kobel after a cross pass from Gonzalo. In a flash, the Whites sentenced the match, although the Germans had a couple of clear opportunities to discount in the second half.<\/p>

However, Niko Kovac’s team paid dearly for their defensive fragility and the poor performance of a predictable attack. Xabi took advantage of the second half to give more minutes to Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/strong>, who is still far from his physical fullness after the strong viral condition that prevented him from playing the group stage. The ‘9’ lost several kilos and looks much thinner, with a couple of gears below his usual speed.<\/p>

Crazy ending in added time and sensitive ‘merengue’ loss<\/h2>

Madrid seemed closer to a rout, but Maximian Beier discounted in the 90+2′ after a bad clearance from R\u00fcdiger. The Whites reacted with another goal from Mbapp\u00e9 in the following action<\/strong>, after an acrobatic finish preceded by an offside that seemed clear<\/strong>.<\/p>

Everything seemed defined, but Dean Huijsen committed an absurd penalty on Serhou Guirassy<\/strong>, holding him by the shoulder to prevent him from finishing in front of Courtois. The referee sent off the centre-back and the Guinean discounted from the penalty spot.<\/p>

In the last play of the match, with a ‘merengue’ defence in shock, Courtois made an incredible save to prevent Sabitzer’s goal<\/strong> that would have forced extra time. The victory ended up being bittersweet, as the Whites lose their best centre-back against Paris.<\/p>
