Real Madrid kick off their Club World Cup campaign with Saudi Pro League runners-up Al Hilal on Wednesday evening. The La Liga giants will hope to impress in this tournament and bring their first piece of silverware to the club under new manager Xabi Alonso.
The former Bayer Leverkusen boss replaced Carlo Ancelotti at the end of the 2024/25 domestic season and has wasted no time getting to work at the Bernabeu with defenders Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold already brought into the squad during the summer transfer window.
