The Los Blancos did not have the start they were looking for, at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 but would look to bounce back when they take on Pachuca on June 23. Al-Hilal on the other hand, will take confidence from this clash as they take on RB Salzburg in their next match on June 23.
Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Al-Hilal in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, on Thursday, June 19. Both teams had new managers, with Xabi Alonso in charge of Real Madrid and Simone Inzaghi leading Al-Hilal. The contest started on an even note but Real Madrid took the lead in the 34th minute with young Gonzalo Garcia scoring in the 34th minute. But Al-Hilal restored parity before the break when Ruben Neves converted a penalty spot. There were no goals in the second half, but Real Madrid had a golden opportunity to take the lead and potentially win the contest in stoppage time when they were awarded a penalty. But Yassine Bounou came to Al-Hilal's rescue as he saved Federico Valverde's penalty, ensuring that both teams shared spoils. With this result, Al-Hilal ended Real Madrid's 11-match winning streak at the FIFA Club World Cup.
