Young star shines, Real Madrid wins 3-0 over RB Salzburg

(NLDO) – Defeating RB Salzburg with a score of 3-0 in the morning match on June 27, Real Madrid won the top spot in Group H and entered the knockout round of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.

In the final match of Group H at Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia, USA), Real Madrid had no difficulty in overcoming the Austrian representative RB Salzburg. Coach Xabi Alonso left Rodrygo and Brahim Díaz on the bench, using the duo Vinícius Jr and Gonzalo García in attack, supported behind by the midfield trio Tchouaméni - Valverde - Bellingham.

RB Salzburg entered the match with the mentality of having to win to secure their place in the next round, but they were quickly caught up in Real Madrid's overwhelming game. The Spanish Royal team completely controlled the midfield and continuously applied pressure with small combinations and flexible movements.

In the 40th minute, after many missed opportunities, Vinicius Jr. broke the deadlock with a decisive finish in the penalty area, putting Real Madrid ahead 1-0. Just before the break, Vinicius spoke up again with an impromptu backheel pass to Valverde to double the lead in the 45+3 minute of added time.

Real Madrid suddenly started to falter in the second half, forcing goalkeeper Courtois to show off his talent. When the Belgian goalkeeper was defeated by Baidoo's diagonal shot, Bellingham was there at the right time to block right at the goal line.

Salzburg paid the price for squandering their chances. As the game drew to a close, youngster Gonzalo García – who had scored against Al-Hilal – continued to shine with a neat finish in the box, sealing a 3-0 win for Real Madrid in the 84th minute.

With this result, Real Madrid finished the group stage with 7 points after 3 matches, winning the first place in Group H. Although they avoided having to face Man City early, the next opponent of coach Xabi Alonso and his team is also very formidable, which is Juventus, the second place team in Group G. Considered one of the top candidates for the championship, but the "White Vulture" bracket is quite heavy, it is predicted that it will not be easy for the Royal team to go as far as possible.

Final ranking of group G

If they beat Juventus, Real Madrid could face Dortmund in the quarter-finals and then face one of four "terrible" opponents if they can reach the semi-finals: Flamengo, Bayern Munich, PSG or Inter Miami.

Meanwhile, a 0-3 defeat to the former European champions meant RB Salzburg were officially eliminated with 4 points after three matches. In the same match, Al-Hilal defeated Pachuca 2-0, taking second place in Group H and becoming the only representative from Asia to advance from the group stage.

Real Madrid's draw is quite heavy

Al-Hilal will face "big guy" Man City in the knockout round with the possibility of advancing extremely low.
