Real Madrid, Dortmund to Meet in Club World Cup Quarters

Real Madrid advanced to the Club World Cup quarterfinals with a 1-0 win over Juventus, as Gonzalo Garcia scored from a Trent Alexander-Arnold assist and Kylian Mbappe returned from illness. Under new manager Xabi Alonso, Madrid remains unbeaten and highly motivated, with players promised a €1 million bonus each and the club potentially earning €111.6 million if they win the tournament. The squad has declined external sponsorships to prioritize victory. Borussia Dortmund also advanced after Serhou Guirassy's two first-half goals led to a 2-1 win against Monterrey, despite late pressure from Sergio Ramos. Dortmund's tournament earnings have exceeded $52 million, and Guirassy is the leading scorer in the competition. The two clubs will face off in the quarterfinals, both in strong form and driven by significant financial incentives.
