Real Madrid will be aiming to add to their record-breaking history in the Fifa Club World Cup, as they join the action in Morocco at the semi-final stage.
It’s now a full decade since the last time a club from Europe did not triumph in this competition, with Corinthians beating Chelsea in 2012 - and only five different clubs triumphing since then. Real have won three titles in that period, taking their tally to four. No other club has won more than three.
In their way this time are Brazilian outfit and Copa Libertadores winners Flamengo, Saudi Arabian AFC champions Al Hilal and Egyptian side Al Ahly.
MLS team Seattle Sounders, Moroccans Wydad Casablanca and New Zealand’s Auckland City are already eliminated in the earlier rounds.
