After a breathtaking victory at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, Madrid's "Real" team flew to the United Arab Emirates this morning.
Zinedine Zidane's coached team is preparing for the battle for the third title this season - the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup. "Real" will try to defend their champions title and become the first team to do so.
Z. Zidane took all the team's footballers with him. The strategist confirmed after last week's match against "Sevilla" that both Gareth Bale and Raphael Varane are ready to play at least one game in this tournament.
"Real" will start their journey in the FIFA Club World Cup from the semi-final, where they will face the UAE championship winners "Al-Jazira". The match will take place on December 13th at 19:00 Lithuanian time.
If "Real" manages to advance to the final, they will face the winner of the "Gremio" - "Pachuca" pair. The final in Abu Dhabi will take place on December 16th.
In addition, UEFA Champions League winners have the opportunity to equalize the number of trophies won by the "Barcelona" club - in case of victory, "Real" will also have triumphed three times in this tournament.
