After the scandalous 2018 "Copa Libertadores" final ended on Sunday, the first two participants of the FIFA Club World Cup semi-finals have been revealed.
Every year in this tournament, champions of each continent compete. Madrid's "Real" has won the trophies in the last two years, and this year they will have the opportunity to do it for the fourth time in their club's history.
Madrid's "Real" journey will begin on December 19th. The royal club will face the winner of the "Kashima Antlers" - "Chivas Guadalajara" pair in Abu Dhabi.
The footballers of "River Plate," champions of South America, will play in the other semi-final. They could face a match against the winner of the pair "Esperance de Tunis" or "Al-Ain" - "Wellington" from the first round.
It is likely that both "River Plate" and Madrid's "Real" will reach the final and compete for the trophy. It is symbolic that it was at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium that the Argentinians secured their place in this tournament.
The final will be played on December 22nd.
