Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus (G García 54)
Mbappé makes first appearance of tournament
Kylian Mbappé finally made his Club World Cup debut against Juventus, after recovering from a stomach virus that caused him to lose five kilos. The crowd at Hard Rock Stadium cheered as he entered the pitch, thrilled by his presence. However, it was Gonzalo García, a relatively unknown player just a month ago, who secured Real Madrid’s place in the quarter-finals.
The 21-year-old Gonzalo García has emerged as the tournament’s standout player, scoring his third goal with a powerful header that defeated Juventus’s keeper, Michele Di Gregorio. Coming from a family of rugby players, bullfighters, and the legendary actress Rita Hayworth, Gonzalo is carving out his own legacy in football. Spain’s under-17 coach Hernán Pérez believes he has the potential to lead Madrid’s attack for years to come.
