After dropping away from Barcelona in La Liga and losing in the Spanish Super Cup against their eternal rivals in January, Madrid took a step away from crisis talk with this victory. Valverde doubled Madrid's lead at the start of the second half, taking one fine touch to control a loose ball in the box and then blasting home with his second. Vinicius fired wide from a tight angle and Rodrygo hit the post with a dinked effort after pressing well to win the ball back. "It was very special to score the goal and celebrate with them, now we have to rest and work well to win the final." The European champions took the lead just before half-time with a Vinicius chip and then Valverde smashed in the second soon after the break. Rodrygo added a cool finish in stoppage time after a slick combination with Dani Ceballos and youngster Arribas wrapped up the win.

Vinícius Júnior, Federico Valverde, Rodrygo and Sergio Arribas scored for the Los Blancos, which will play Al-Hilal in Saturday's final.

Madrid won the Club World Cup in 2014 — also in Morocco — and from 2016-2018. Vinícius opened the scoring in the 42nd minute for his 50th goal in 202 matches with Madrid. It was the first goal for the 21-year-old Arribas with Madrid’s first team.

Real Madrid will face Saudi Arabian team Al Hilal in the final of the Club World Cup after defeating Al Ahly 4-1 in Morocco on Wednesday.

“We did well today because it was a match where we had everything to lose and nothing to win,” Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti told reporters. It’s a great feeling to reach the final.” [Al Hilal ](http://www.cnn.com/2023/02/08/football/saudi-prince-al-hilal-club-world-cup-spt-intl/index.html)in the final of the [Club World Cup](http://www.cnn.com/2023/02/01/football/club-world-cup-real-madrid-morocco-spt-intl/index.html) after defeating Al Ahly 4-1 in Morocco on Wednesday.

Former Real Madrid midfielder Isco Alarcon made a bizarre revelation involving legendary Paris Saint German star Lionel Messi which left many shocked.

Isco was already in Germany earlier this month, where he reportedly underwent a medical with the club ahead of a proposed move to the Bundesliga. The Spaniard was all set to join Union Merlin after reportedly passing medical test in Berlin, but the club called the deal off at the last moment citing their limits. Isco confessed in 2013 that he named his dog 'Messi' because Messi and his dog both are best in the world.

Martin Odegaard arrived at Real Madrid at the age of 16, after a film-like recruitment process that took him to the major training centers of Europe.

"I started the first two games of that season in 2020-21, but I wasn't fully recovered. "I stopped playing with the spark that was typical of my game. I was stuck in the middle. "Maybe if I had been Spanish, they would have given me a little more time to grow up. It made it easier for them to write about how I was struggling to adapt. "I talked about it a lot with my dad and the rest of my family. In the first team I was just a kid who came to train. "I know you've seen the pictures. But they were all very nice, and the ones who spoke English looked after me a lot at the beginning." At the time, I loved Isco, he was so smooth on the ball. Suddenly, I'm sitting next to Madrid legend Emilio Butragueno, who's wearing a very smart suit, of course, and I'm being introduced to the world. He's this legend I grew up watching on TV, and now I'm sitting in front of him eating steak."

The team trained at the Mohamed VI Sports Complex in preparation for the match against Al Hilal (Saturday, 8pm CET).

In the process of choosing Real, Odegaard turned down Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and even current club Arsenal – while ...

“I watched, trained and learned from the best players in the world, my idols. “I learned so much about what it takes to reach the top,” he said. North London has since provided the stability he was previously missing and Odegaard is now captaining a team on course to be crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 19 years. I was stuck in between,” he said. It seemed like a smart plan at the time, but it worked out that I ended up not finding my place with either group.” Odegaard later found his feet during loans at Vitesse Arnhem, Heerenveen and Real Sociedad, even cutting short his time at the latter to try and establish himself back in Madrid. “I stopped playing with the spark that was typical of my game. In the first-team, I was just some kid who came to train. And the manager of that team? “They were Champions League holders with the best players in the world. Back then, I loved Isco – he was so smooth on the ball. “But the really key thing about Madrid’s offer was that they had a B team where I could play competitive football immediately.

According to Calciomercato, the Bundesliga side are only interested in Kane in their pursuit of a new striker. [Kane apple of Bayern’s eye for summer (The Boot Room)](https://tbrfootball.com/harry-kane-the-only-striker-bayern-munich-want-this-summer/) Until we start seeing some of that, I just can’t buy in that Kane is eager to leave England. Look...there is no doubt Bayern Munich has interest in Kane. Bayern meanwhile, appear to be ready to put all of their eggs in just the one basket when it comes to signing a new goalscorer. But they are not running away with the title, as they sit just one point clear of Union Berlin. Bayern are currently top of the Bundesliga. A huge offer is needed for Bayern to even consider selling. A massive offer from Los Blancos might be the only way that Bayern Munich would consider a sale: However, Bayern are determined to keep the winger.

Benzema scored a career-best 44 goals in 46 games to lead Madrid to a Liga and Champions League double last season. The board would like talks to take place nearer the end of the season, but there is a risk of certain players leaving in the summer, while the club do not want to negotiate seven contract renewals at once.
