Real Madrid vs Al-Hilal. On June 18, 2025, history will be made in Riyadh where two clubs will meet and the FIFA Club World Cup will define a new era for both; Xabi Alonso’s debut match with a Real Madrid and Al-Hilal hopes to rewrite the story against after falling short in the 2022 Final.

Form Guide

Real Madrid – LWLWWW

Real Madrid ended La Liga on a win-streak, winning its last three matches without giving up a single goal. An essential part of the Galáctico aesthetic, Kylian Mbappé also ended strong in La Liga, scoring two goals in Real Madrid’s second to last away game against Real Sociedad, 2–0.

Recent Matches:

• Real Sociedad 0–2
• Sevilla 0–2
• Mallorca 1–2
• Barcelona 4–3
• Celta Vigo 2–3

In total, Madrid netted 14 goals in their last six matches, continuing their offensive brilliance under interim tactics while Alonso shadowed the sidelines.

Al-Hilal – LWWWDW

Similarly, the Saudi champions ended their seasons on a winning note as well, going unbeaten in their last five matches. Goals scored by Mitrović and Milinković-Savić in their 2–0 victory over Al-Qadsiah came from cool possession and decisive finishing off an uncharacteristic defensively weak showing.

Recent Matches:

• Al-Qadsiah 2–0
• Al-Wehda 1–1
• Al-Fateh FC 4–3
