Real Madrid advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup after defeating Juventus 1-0, with the only goal scored by 21-year-old academy graduate Gonzalo García. This victory places Real Madrid among the tournament's top eight teams, where they will face the winner of the Borussia Dortmund versus Monterrey match. Gonzalo García has been a standout performer throughout the competition, currently leading as the top scorer with four goals and one assist in five matches. He has contributed a goal or an assist in every game Real Madrid has played in the tournament. The young forward's breakthrough comes in the absence of Kylian Mbappé, who made his tournament debut after recovering from illness. Meanwhile, Raúl Asencio's performance in the Club World Cup has been notably troubled, including a missed penalty against Al Hilal, an early red card versus Pachuca, and conceding a goal against PSG in the semifinals.
