Real Madrid 3-0 RB Salzburg
Real Madrid have secured top spot in their Club World Cup group, following a win over RB Salzburg that was never in doubt, but was not comfortable either. They finish their group with seven points, following wins over Pachuca and Salzburg after an opening draw with Al-Hilal.
The game started off with a significant shift from Xabi Alonso, with Los Blancos starting with three at the back, consisting of Antonio Rudiger, Aurelien Tchouameni and Dean Huijsen. The early going saw Real Madrid pressing high, with varying degrees of effectiveness, but neither were Salzburg...

Group G: Juventus 2-5 Manchester City

Koopmeiners 11, Vlahovic 84; Doku 9, Kalulu 26og, Haaland 52, Foden 69, Savinho 75
Erling Haaland’s 300th career goal graced this canter of a victory and Savinho’s 75th-minute peach lit up a Manchester City display that will be noted by the other big guns aiming to claim the inaugural 32-team Club World Cup.
The Brazilian’s 20-yard shot pinballed off the bar to make it 5-1 and confirm that Juventus would lose and finish second. While Pep Guardiola’s men remain in search of their smoothest rhythms, topping Group G is impressive, and Al-Hilal will not relish facing them in the last 16 at the far cooler 9pm kick-off time. The manager was delighted.

Vinícius Júnior grabs goal and assist to set up Juventus clash
If Real Madrid are to make a success of the Xabi Alonso era they will have to embrace their former midfielder’s quest for structure. In turn, though, Alonso will come away from his new side’s encouraging 3-0 win over Red Bull Salzburg in Philadelphia knowing that keeping everyone onside will be easier if he continues to find ways to let Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior have their share of the limelight.
There are times when it seems that the Club World Cup would function just as well if it was simply Madrid touring the US, emerging for stadium appearances and playing no actual football. A lot of people just want to see the stars. There were shrieks when Bellingham strolled out a little over an hour before this game kicked off and gave a partisan crowd a regal wave. It was a reminder that Carlo...
Vinicius Junior scored the first goal and assisted the second, and Real Madrid cruised to a 3-0 victory over Red Bull Salzburg to finish top of Group H and clinch their place in the knockout rounds of the 2025 Club World Cup on Thursday.

Crucially, winning the group sends Real Madrid to the opposite side of the bracket from Manchester City, who they would have faced in the round of 16 and who looked every bit the tournament favorites during the group stage (9 points, +11 GD). However, Xabi Alonso's side begins the knockouts against another giant, Juventus (followed by Borussia Dortmund, potentially), and could face reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain...

Real Madrid also rolled to a group-clinching win over Salzburg while Al Hilal scored early and held Pachuca scoreless to claim Group H's second spot.

Merentiel equalises for Argentinians before Olise scores late winner
Harry Kane ended the night in Miami bruised, sweat-soaked and perhaps a little weary from repeatedly picking himself up off the ground. Along the way Kane also scored one, made one and walked off with the Superior Player Of the Match laurels as Bayern Munich edged their way to a relentlessly entertaining 2-1 defeat of Boca Juniors in front of a high-energy full house.
As a result, Bayern are now though to the knockout stage of the Club World Cup. A European team has also finally beaten a South American opponent at this tournament. But defeat still leaves Boca in effect in charge of their own destiny, with the fall-guys of Auckland City to come. They basically need to win by a spectacular margin and rely on Bayern to beat Benfica.

Late run of defeats scuppered Champions League hopes
Nuno Espírito Santo has signed a new three-year contract as Nottingham Forest manager to remain at the City Ground until at least 2028. The 51-year-old guided Forest to a seventh-place finish in the Premier League this past season, securing European qualification for the first time since 1995-96.
For much of the campaign, it looked as though Forest would qualify for the Champions League, but they lost five of their last eight games. However, that has not prevented the club’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, from rewarding Nuno after the club’s highest league finish for 30 years, while they also reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup before losing to Manchester City.

Uefa’s legal team is preparing for more action as a complex and increasingly common issue rears its head again
In the waterfront offices of Uefa’s House of European Football headquarters in Nyon, the legal team are preparing for an unwanted trip around Lake Geneva to Lausanne. Over the course of many internal meetings since Crystal Palace inadvertently provided Uefa with the toughest test yet of its multi-club ownership (MCO) rules by winning the FA Cup, it has become increasingly clear the ultimate arbiter on the issue is likely to be the court of arbitration for sport (Cas).
“We’re going to find out if our MCO rules stand up to scrutiny as, one way or another, it looks like we’re going to Cas,” says one source at Uefa, resigned to the issue of...

Record deal as midfielder costs initial £100m
Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen with the midfielder declaring his desire to ‘win everything’. The German will cost a club record £100m and his price could rise with add-ons to £116m, which would make him the most expensive British transfer.
Leverkusen had wanted €150m (£127.6m) for the 22-year-old, who also attracted interest from Bayern Munich, but weeks of talks brought down the price. Wirtz, an attacking midfielder, scored 16 goals and provided 15 assists in the past season in 45 club appearances. He has signed a five-year...
It has been an ominous week for the sport in the US but talk of a boycott of next year’s World Cup misses the point
Should we give it a miss? Is it best to stay away from next summer’s Trump-Infantino US World Cup? Depending on your politics the answer may be a resounding no or a bemused shrug. Some will see pure drive-by entertainment. Why would anyone want to boycott a month-long end-of-days Grand Soccer Parade staged by two of the world’s most cinematic egomaniacs?
But it is a question that has been asked, and will be asked a lot more in the next year. Those who intend to travel will need to answer it by action or omission. Would it be better for dissenting media and discomfited football fans to simply no-platform this event?
