Manchester City triumphed 2-0 - Real Madrid on the brink!
Vienna, Österreich - On June 18, 2025, the World Cup in Miami began with exciting games. Manchester City was in the best form and won 2-0 over Wydad AC. Phil Foden scored in the 2nd minute after a rebound, while Jerremy Doku scored the second goal in the 42nd minute after a corner. Coach Pep Guardiola was able to look forward to the debut of his new assistant coach Pep Lijnders, who celebrated his competitive debut. Despite a red card for Rico Lewis in the 88th minute, City remained confident. In your group you also have to deal with Al Ain from the VAE and Juventus Turin.
At the same time, Real Madrid played in the Salzburg group against Al Hilal. The game ended 1-1 after Gonzalo Garcia brought the lead in the 34th minute Madrid (assist: Rodrygo). Al Hilal equalized shortly before half -time through a penalty from Ruben Neves, which was caused by a foul by Raul Asencio. In added time, Federico Valverde awarded another penalty that was parried by Al-Hilal goalkeeper Bono. For Real Madrid, it is now becoming important to score against Pachuca in the next group game because the team is under pressure. It was striking that David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger were not in the squad due to injury, so that Asencio and Dean Huijsen acted as a central defender.prize money and financial aspects
This year's club World Cup is not only sporty, but also financially. A total of $ 1 billion (approx. 926 million euros) in this championship will be distributed in prize money. $ 525 million are guaranteed, regardless of the performance criteria of the teams. For European participants, the pension allowance is between 12.81 and 38.19 million, while teams from Oceania receive USD 3.58 million.
- Africa, Asia, North, Central America and Caribbean: USD 9.55 million each
- South America: 15.21 million USD
In addition, each team in the group phase receives $ 2 million for a win and $ 1 million for a tie. In comparison, the Champions League winner can receive up to 160 million euros for at least 16 games, which underlines the financial attractiveness of the tournament. FIFA President Gianni Infantino also announced a "groundbreaking global solidarity model", which provides for $ 250 million for club football worldwide, whereby all income should benefit the clubs without the FIFA.
The participating teams in this club World Cup, such as Manchester City and Real Madrid, are under enormous pressure, not only sporty, but also to fight for the lucrative prize money. The financial differences in football are not always decisive for sporting success, as the past Champions League season showed. Nevertheless, clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City have proven that financial strength does not always lead to a title, especially in crucial moments.
