Real Madrid is in Abu Dhabi, gearing up for their FIFA Club World Cup campaign. The European champion enters the competition at the semi-final stage, taking on Al Jazira for a shot at the final where Gremio awaits.
Zidane’s side has endured a disappointing season so far – the club is fourth in La Liga and finished second in their Champions League group. Nonetheless, this competition will give Los Blancos the chance to finish the year on a high.
Cristiano Ronaldo traveled with the team and is ready to lead his side to a second consecutive FIFA Club World Cup title. Furthermore, the Portuguese ace has an extra motive to do well in the semi-final clash, as he could set a new record in Wednesday’s tie.
The 32-year-old goalscoring machine knows that if he finds the back of the net against Al Jazira, he will become the competition’s all-time leading scorer. Currently, he shares that record with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Cesar Delgado at five goals each.
Real Madrid should easily sweep aside the UAE club, meaning Ronaldo should have two games – the semi-final and final – to score a record-breaking sixth goal in this competition. Furthermore, if Los Blancos wins the tournament, he and Toni Kroos would lift the title for a record fourth time.
A win and the goalscoring record are first up on Cristiano’s to-do list. Should he achieve both, it would be another excellent feat to add to his fifth Ballon d’Or win from last Thursday.
