Real Madrid will look to top Group H and punch their tickets to the FIFA Club World Cup knockout stage with victory over RB Salzburg.
Los Blancos underwhelmed in their first match under Xabi Alonso, only managing a 1–1 draw against Al Hilal. They bounced back in Charlotte, though, securing a dominant 3–1 victory over Pachuca despite going down a man just seven minutes into the fixture.
Now, Real Madrid have one final group stage test against Salzburg before they can look ahead to the FIFA Club World Cup round of 16. The Spanish giants will be confident going against a side they defeated 5–1 in the Champions League back in January.
Kylian Mbappé is recovering from gastroenteritis and returned to training after a brief stay in the hospital. Still, the Frenchman was left out of Alonso's squad as Real Madrid proceed with caution. He joins Eduardo Camavinga, Endrick, Ferland Mendy, David Alaba, Éder Militão and Dani Carvajal on the sidelines, along with the suspended Raúl Asencio.
Here’s what Real Madrid’s XI could look like against Salzburg on June 26.
