REAL MADRID IS THE BEST FOOTBALL CLUB IN THE WORLD
Real Madrid can lay claim to becoming the first club across all of Europe’s top five leagues to win 100 trophies after the Champions League holders and LaLiga champions swept aside Saudi club Al Hilal to lift the FIFA Club World Cup over the weekend. Vinicius Junior scored twice and helped Karim Benzema with a third, while Federico Valverde added two more for the European champions in Saturday’s final.
Madrid last won the tournament in 2018. It also lifted the trophy in 2014, 2016 and 2017.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid, added to their four cups from 2014 to 2018 – and ensured European teams have won the past 10 editions of the tournament. Fifa plans to change the format of the tournament from June 2025 to feature 32 teams and be held every four years.
