Preview Real Madrid in semifinale col brivido: certe distrazioni, contro il PSG, sono vietate

It`s not over until it`s over. This concept will be very clear to the Real Madrid players after the Club World Cup quarter-final match against Borussia Dortmund. The Blancos won 3-2, but the final minutes, including injury time, risked undoing what had been an excellent performance up to that point.

The first half was almost entirely dominated by Real. The Madrid side were up 2-0 in less than half an hour, thanks to goals from the two Garcias. First, Gonzalo, proving an excellent alternative to Mbappé, volleyed in a ball from Arda Guler. Then Fran doubled the lead with a perfect run into the box, assisted by Alexander-Arnold.

Game over? So it seemed, until stoppage time in the second half. Beier pulled one back to make it 2-1 and reopened everything. Mbappé, who came on as a substitute, seemed to restore the two-goal lead by scoring the third with a magnificent overhead kick, but the match still had surprises in store. Shortly after, Huijsen conceded a penalty (converted by Guirassy) and was sent off. Right at the final whistle, Courtois performed a miracle save on Sabitzer, denying a sensational 3-3 draw. A clear lesson ahead of the semi-final against PSG, where errors and lapses in concentration of this kind will be severely punished.
