The recent performance of Real Madrid

Current champions of the tournament, Real Madrid was the last team to land in the United Arab Emirates. Only went to the country after defeating on Saturday, December 9, Seville, by 5 to 0, in match by the fifteenth round of the Spanish Championship.
On the leaderboard, the victory did not have much effect. With 31 points (nine wins, four draws and two losses) Real remain in the fourth position of the 2017/2018 La Liga season. The difference for Barcelona, ​​the leader, was also maintained in eight points, as the rival defeated Villarreal by 2 to 0, in the day of number 15. However, the convincing performance served to reduce the volume of criticisms that were being made to the Champions League double champion.
However, what really drew attention to the eve of the duel was the draw of the clashes of the last 16 of the 2017/2018 season of the most important club competition in the Old Continent. Real will face Paris Saint-Germain in February, another favorite team to take the title.
As the duel is still far, the classic against Barcelona is another game that shares the attention of the fans, technical staff and Real players. It’s scheduled for December 23.
This, in a way, takes a little attention from the athletes at the Interclub World Cup. This, however, has not meant much in recent seasons. For several times Real Madrid oscillated in the competitions, but at the time of decisive matches showed its strength.
Without losing eight games (five wins and three draws), the team led by coach Zinedine Zidane had his medical department largely emptied, which increases the options for the coach. Of the starting team, only two athletes are doubtful. Defender Raphael Varane (nine Spanish 2017/2018 games without a goal) and Welshman Gareth Bale (five games, two goals) are in the infirmary.

The current form of Al-Jazira
Al-Jazeera are already in profit in the Interclub World Cup.

Despite the victory, the United Arab Emirates team showed great technical limitations. He was less in possession of the ball (40% to 60%), made less than a third of finishing attempts in comparison with the rival (5 to 17) sending only two on target (against seven of Auckland). Abused the fouls (22) to stop the game and manage the advantage achieved with the goal at 38 minutes of the first stage. He counted on the complacency of the referee, which showed four yellow cards for the locals, but left the red in his pocket.
In the quarterfinals, his victim was Urawa Red Diamonds, Japan, winner of the Asian Champions League. Not only the score was repeated, but also the story of the game. The UAE club was dominated most of the time, had less possession of the ball (35% to 65%), attempted fewer shots on goal (5 to 10), but counted with more efficiency in the finalization. Two of his finals attempts were on target, even the number of the rival. One came in. Ali Ahmed Mabkhout scored with Romarinho’s assist.
