Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund: Confirmed Starting Lineup Announced for Club World Cup Match
Real Madrid are back in Club World Cup action, taking on Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-final stage. A win would put them one game away from the final, against a team with whom they have a good record in recent years in the Champions League.
The team has won their last three games, and in the previous two games, Xabi Alonso has not made any changes to the team, resulting in two clean sheets. The big question is, would Kylian Mbappe come back into the starting lineup after his 28-minute cameo against Juventus after missing the first three games with an illness?
