The final match of FIFA's Club World Cup will have, as expected, the much anticipated face-off between the South American champions and the European title holders. San Lorenzo de Almagro will meet Real Madrid looking to put an end to Ancelotti's team unbeaten streak.
San Lorenzo get to this match after defeating New Zealand's champion Auckland City in overtime. Coach Edgardo Bauza has stated prior to this match that their sole intention is to save face against one of the best teams in the world right now. The Argentinian club will try to keep possession of the ball as much time as they can, so they can make the most out of their chances. Bauza stated today he will play the same team that started against Auckland City, despite Nestor Ortigoza's suspected injury.
Real Madrid's streak of 21 games without defeat will be facing a new type of opponent. Carlo Ancelotti's crew has gotten used to win, and their Argentinian rivals could present something different than they would have faced before. Furthermore, their opponents this Saturday revealed they prefer a physical type of match against the more talented European squad.
San Lorenzo will base their chances of winning this match on what Nestor Ortigoza and Matias Cauteruccio can do up front, while Los Blancos will have a variety of weapons to choose from, starting with the famous "BBC" attack, featuring Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo. Ancelotti could also have the comeback of Colombian James Rodriguez, who was absent from the semifinals due to a calf injury. This will be the last game of 2014 for both clubs. Who will come out on top?
