The 26-year-old French forward Kylian Mbappe is fully fit now. He even played as a substitute in the second half for the side.

The new head coach Xabi Alonso must be having a tough time deciding if he should maintain the winning combination, and keep Gonzalo Garcia in the starting line-up, or give Kylian Mbappe his first start in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, as this is a tough, high-voltage knockout game, with semi-final spot at stake. Kylian Mbappe has been the top goal-scorer for Real Madrid in 2024-25, but Gonzalo Garcia got the winner in the last one. Whatever the call is, Alonso is expected to keep his 3-5-2 formation, and Kylian Mbappe will be playing either as a starter or as a substitute.
