Real Madrid face Al Hilal in the FIFA Club World Cup final at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, Morocco. Kick-off: 2pm ET.

Has it been plain sailing for Real Madrid to reach the FIFA Club World Cup final? Real Madrid camped inside the Al Hilal half once again but unable to find a way through. A sore one for Cuéllar as he takes a smack in the mouth from Tchouamnéni as they battle for possession in midfield. Marega again leads the charge and lays the ball off in the box to Salem, who tries to sidestep Rüdiger, who gets his body in the way. With Madrid 2-0 up and cruising, they carelessly left the back door wide open as they pushed for a third and Marega was allowed to run from the half-way line unchallenged to slot past Lunin. It appeared as if they were keeping Real Madrid at bay and defending their box well, only for the Spaniards to hit them with two goals in five minutes out of nowhere. I don't want to labour the point but Marega really is causing Real Madrid a lot of problems. Real Madrid shut the door in Al Hilal's face once again! To be the best in Europe and then in the world, our players should be very proud." The credit goes to the players. Marega was a constant menace for the Madrid defence and threatened either side of half-time but Madrid's ruthlessness again appeared early in the second half as Benzema and Valverde appeared to put the game out of sight. "I have to congratulate the people of Morocco for doing their very best for us, I think the organisation was perfect."
