On June 27, the third round of Group H of the Club World Cup group stage ushered in a focus match, with Real Madrid fighting against Salzburg Red Bull. Real Madrid completely suppressed their opponents in the first half and led 2-0 in the first half. Gonzalo scored a single goal in the second half to secure the victory. In the end, Real Madrid defeated Salzburg Red Bull 3-0, with 2 wins and 1 draw and 7 points, qualifying as the top spot in the group, and will play against Juventus in the knockout stage.

Real Madrid has 1 win, 1 draw and 4 points in the first two rounds, ranking first in the group by goal difference, and Salzburg is also ranked second in 1 win, 1 draw. Since the third new moon has 2 points, there is still hope of qualifying. Real Madrid and Salzburg cannot be careless in this game, and the losing side is likely to be unable to qualify. In contrast, Real Madrid only needs to draw to ensure qualifying, and the situation is slightly better.

Real Madrid, Asensio was suspended due to the last round of red, Mbappe and others continued to miss the team. Real Madrid's lineup is still star-studded. Venisius and Bellingham lead the front line, Valverde and Arnold guard the midfield, Rudiger and Chu'améni are in the back defense, and Courtois guard the roster. In Salzburg, Ratkov, Krezger and others led the start. It is worth mentioning that the fourth official in this game is Chinese referee Ma Ning.

Real Madrid was the first to enter the state at the beginning and continued to put pressure on the opponent's goal. Bellingham, Veniceus, Valverde and others were very active, but Gonzalo's condition was average and he missed opportunities many times. Real Madrid has an absolute advantage in the field, almost suppressing Salzburg in the half, and the opponent can only use the occasional counterattack to harass Real Madrid's defense. In the 40th minute, Real Madrid, who could not catch up for a long time, finally scored a goal. Venisius counterattacked and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and scored with a burst shot at the front of the penalty area. Real Madrid led 1-0.

In halftime stoppage time, Real Madrid once again created a threat. Venices' shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, Valverde scored a goal, and Real Madrid led 2-0 in the first half. In the second half, Red Bull, who was eager to score a goal and equalize the score, made a desperate bet and once created several good shooting opportunities. However, Real Madrid quickly stabilized the situation. The two teams attacked and defended each other on the scene, and both had good chances to score. In the 84th minute, young player Gonzalo scored a single goal, and Real Madrid led by 3 goals to secure the victory. At the end of the game, Real Madrid defeated their opponents 3-0 and secured the top spot in the group.

Real Madrid's opponent in the knockout stage will be Juventus, but in the second half of the zone, they are in five European giants, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern, Juventus and Dortmund, as well as Miami International and Brazilian giant Flamenco led by Messi, which can be called a dead zone. Even if Real Madrid can play to the end, they are likely to face European teams all the way.

In another game in this group, Riyadh New Moon defeated Pachuca 1-0, with 1 win, 2 draws and 5 points, ranking second in the group, successfully qualifying, becoming the only Asian team to qualify for the first time, covering Asian football.
