Spanish giants Real Madrid finally got their first win in the 2025 Club World Cup after defeating Mexican side Pachuca 3-1 in the second round of Group H matches.It wasn’t an easy game, as Real Madrid had a man sent off with a red card shortly after the start, but they showed great team spirit and strength in a difficult situation to come back and win.
Real Madrid suffered a blow at the start of the match.In the 7th minute, Asensio committed a serious foul in defense and was sent off by the referee with a direct red card.This meant that Real Madrid had to play one less person for the whole game.However, despite the numerical disadvantage, Real Madrid did not mess up, but played more organized and more united.
In the 35th minute of the first half, Bellingham took a pass from teammate Garcia and calmly fired a low shot inside the penalty area to help the team take the lead.The goal was a great morale booster.Later on, Güller also contributed a goal to increase the score to 2-0. In the second half, Valverde added another goal to make the score 3-0. Although Pachuca pulled back a goal later on, it could not change the result.In the end, Real Madrid took the three points.
In this game, apart from the outstanding performance of the whole team, the performance of the junior Wyson also attracted a lot of attention.He made several key moves on the field that caught people’s eyes, and fans felt that he has a bright future ahead of him.In addition, Bellingham was named Player of the Match, and his performance was undoubtedly one of the major factors in the team’s victory.
This was the first win for new manager Alonso after he took charge of Real Madrid.Real Madrid’s overall form has picked up since the beginning of the season.Although the Champions League ended in the last eight this season, they are currently ranked second in the La Liga, and their performance is still stable.After Alonso took over, he quickly adjusted the team’s tactics and allowed the players to adapt to the new style of play more quickly.
In this Club World Cup, Real Madrid has a strong lineup with experienced players in every position.In the group stage, their opponents include Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Crescent, Mexico’s Pachuca and Austria’s Red Bull Salzburg.In the first round against Riyadh Crescent, Real Madrid failed to pick up a win and only drew 1-1 with their opponents.In that match, Mbappe did not play, and Valverde also conceded a penalty at the last moment, missing the opportunity to kill.
Against Pachuca, Real Madrid will be looking for a win to boost their morale.Pachuca is a well-balanced team in both offense and defense, and their strength should not be underestimated.But they obviously underestimated Real Madrid’s ability to fight in adversity.Even with one less player, Real Madrid still showed the style of the world’s top club.
Overall, this game not only gave Real Madrid three valuable points, but also brought confidence to the fans.As the schedule progresses, I believe Real Madrid will continue to push for better results in the coming matches.
