FIFA Club World Cup 2025: The group stages of the expanded 32-team Club World Cup has come to a close with the conclusion of the last two matches between Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal-Pachuca and Real Madrid-Red Bull Salzburg of Group H.
The Saudi club got the better of the Mexican side by 2-0 with goals from Salem Al-Dawsari and Marcos Leonardo to finish second in the group.

While Los Blancos under new manager Xabi Alonso registered their second win by defeating Austria's Red Bull Salzburg by a convincing margin of 3-0 to top the group. The likes of Vinicius Jr, Federico Valverde and Gonzalo Garcia got their names on the scoresheets for the Spanish giants.
