Gonzalo Garcia’s Goal Helps Real Madrid Pass Juventus Into Club World Cup Quarter-Finals
Real Madrid have booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Club World Cup after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Juventus. The Spanish giants were tipped as favourites heading into the Round of 16 clash but struggled to break down the Italian side in the first half. It was Gonzalo Garcia who made the difference, nodding home a well-placed cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold in the 54th minute to seal the win.
Despite Real’s dominance, Juve’s goalkeeper Michele di Gregorio put in a brilliant performance to keep the scoreline close. Xabi Alonso’s men now advance to the last eight, where they’ll meet either Borussia Dortmund or Monterrey for a place in the semi-finals.
