Salzburg says goodbye to Real Madrid in the club World Cup final!

As part of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid achieved a convincing 3-0 against the Austrian Association Red Bull Salzburg on June 27, 2025. With this victory, the royal ones secure their move into the next round of the tournament, while Salzburg completes the group phase as third parties and is therefore eliminated. Overall, Real Madrid recorded 7 points in the first round and secured first place in Group H, while Al Hilal also progresses with 5 points and Pachuca stays in the last place without counters. The games took place in the sold -out Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, where over 64,000 spectators followed the match.

Real Madrid started in the game itself and dominated the action, but was initially unable to play clear chances. Vinicius Junior finally broke the spell in the 18th minute with a low shot from 20 meters, which was initiated by Jude Bellingham with a decisive pass. Shortly before half -time, Valverde increased to 2-0 after a preliminary work by Vinicius in the stoppage time of the first half.

Salzburg's efforts and change

Salzburg, which had to do without the injured players Mads Bidstrup and Karim Onisiwo, used Mamadi Diambou and Petar Ratkov to strengthen the offensive. Especially in the second half, Adam Daghim, who was substituted for Ratkov, showed some good approaches. He brought Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to a parade in the 50th minute, but shot over the goal shortly afterwards. Maurits Kjaergaard, also as a Joker, couldn't get involved on his 22nd birthday.

Salzburg kept up well over long distances and just failed to create compensation options. Salzburg could have helped compensation from Pachuca in the parallel game, but was not in sight. Gonzalo Garcia set the final point for Real Madrid, who scored 3-0 in the final phase, which marked his second goal in the tournament.

The extraordinary performance of Vinicius Junior was crucial, not only because of his goals, but also because of the assisting role for Valverde. Real Madrid's impressive record in this tournament now includes another victory, where you have the opportunity to compete against Juventus in the next round. Kylian Mbappe, the top goal scorer from Real Madrid, was not in the squad due to an illness, which increased the pressure on the remaining players.
