Real Madrid booked their place in the FIFA Club World Cup final with a commanding performance in Marrakech, receiving a rapturous reception from Moroccan fans throughout the match. The Spanish giants, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, comfortably advanced to the final and were greeted with a standing ovation from the local crowd.
Following the match, head coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed his gratitude to the Moroccan supporters, highlighting the electric atmosphere in the stadium.
“There’s a fantastic atmosphere here, and the support of the Moroccan public is an extra motivation,” said Ancelotti. “Their passion gave us even more energy.”
Though Real Madrid are yet to learn who their final opponent will be — with San Lorenzo and Auckland City facing off in the other semi-final — Ancelotti made it clear that his team is laser-focused on lifting the trophy.
“We are lucky to have a top-level squad. The players are focused and always ready to give their best. We are just one victory away from the title. We are 100 percent focused on this goal,” he said.
The Italian manager, who has already secured the UEFA Champions League, Copa del Rey, and UEFA Super Cup in 2014, is eager to cap off a remarkable year with another piece of silverware.
“My team deserves to win this trophy. It would be the perfect conclusion to the great year we have had.”
With stars like Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale, and Ramos all in top form, Real Madrid are strong favourites to claim the Club World Cup crown — a title that would cement their dominance on the global stage this season.
