Real Madrid vs Al-Hilal, 2025 FIFA Club World Cup: Predicted lineups

Real Madrid face Al-Hilal in their opening game of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. This will likely be the toughest game on this Group Stage, with Al-Hilal deploying several players who were very successful in European football plus former Inter coach Simone Inzaghi.

Real Madrid predicted XI: Courtois, Alexander-Arnold, Asencio, Huijsen, Fran Garcia, Tchouameni, Valverde, Bellingham, Güler, Vinicius, Mbappe.

Al-Hilal predicted XI: Bono, Tambakti, Koulibaly, Al Bulayhi, Neves, Milinkovic-Savic, Cancelo, Lodi, Al Dawsari, Leonardo, Mitrovic.

This is the start of an era for Real Madrid, and it will likely take Los Blancos a while to get used to Xabi Alonso’s tactical principles. Some progress is to be expected, while Alexander-Arnold and Huijsen will make their much-anticipated debuts as madridistas.
