Winner of La Liga and the Champions League, the Madrilenians are automatically qualified for the final of the Intercontinental Cup and face the Pachuca club this Wednesday, December 18, reigning champion in the Concacaf zone, in Lusail (Qatar).
Back in the group after his minor injury, Kylian Mbappé starts the match. If Real are the big favorites, Carlo Ancelotti’s men will have to be wary of the surprising Mexican team of Pachuca. After beating the other big favorite behind Real, in this case the Brazilian team of Botafogo, winner of the Copa Libertadores, in the quarter-finals (3-0), Pachuca also eliminated Al Ahly on penalties ( 0-0, 6-5 after tab) during the semi-finals. “Every game is a trap. Pachuca is a team that has come this far and it’s because they have something. They are an opponent that deserves our respect, for what they are and for their quality. A final is always exciting, it’s a special feeling before the match, we worry, we think about all the possible aspects but I have confidence in the team” said the Italian technician.
