There are too many couples of teams that have clear favorite and outsider at the Updated Club Championships-2025. Yes, it’s true, there is nothing to hide here. But such confrontations, whose posters are especially expected, are not expected, but in the end they are revealed in the course of the case. The Madrid Real Against Arabian Al-Hilaly-who would have thought that there would be so many emotions in this couple.

But in fact, it was quite easy to predict a very interesting game. Here are the debuts of the main coaches of Hubi Alonso and Simone Indzagi in their positions, and newcomers in the “Blancos” of Dina Guysen or Trenota Alexander-Arnold. And the first bold coaching decisions on Gonzalo type at the edge of the attack from the new manager “Galacticos”. Yes, it was about talking here.

And there was a frank and shameless attempt to indoor immediately capture the famous and more powerful rival from the first minutes. Agree, there was a feeling in these relentless attacks of “blue”, which is a little more, and the Madrid gate will crack. The moments of Marcos Leonardo and Sergey Milinkovich simply frankly pushed us. But somewhere Kurtua was finalized, somewhere the Arabians acted in a hurry, and somewhere Real was a little fortunate. Not without the last.

But in 34 minutes the Spanish team managed to bypass the pressure of the opponents and jump to counterattack through the right flank and pass Valverde into Rodrigo, who turned into a shot for young Gonzalo. He punched extremely bad, but also lucky – an inadvertent double blow to the ball is now allowed after the case of Alvarez, and here is also a game moment, so we will enroll for a witty boom.

And it was probably the only way to beat this amazing Moroccan goalkeeper this evening. He pulled everything he could, and became openly noticeably in the course of the second half, that Al-Hill may and lacked for the game at a high pace of Real, but as long as the hole is standing-there would be an account. And he, by the way, was equal again, because the Arabians played from the penalty seven minutes after the missed, which Asensio brought Follo to Leonardo, and he was shot into the right corner.

However, the pressure of Real in the second half was already so powerful that Al-Hilyal had to attract some higher powers to save his own gates from the missed heads. The indoors tried to balance the substitutions, but Alonso did not sit without business, so Madrid’s strength was enough to clamp the opponents in their half of the field. And there and to the missed decisive ball, it would seem near.

But no. Real Madrid on a level place received a penalty in 90 minutes, when they saw a candid whistle al-Kitani from Frana on the right flank of their own penalty. Valverde took the ball confidently, beat in the left corner … But there was a jumping hole. Exactly that the hero of the evening for the whole Arabian football. Not every day it is possible to pick up points from such a famous opponent.
