Not since the inaugural Club World Cup has a European side failed to make it to the final, and that’s a record Real Madrid are responsible for extending as they face Al Ahly tonight.
The Champions League holders have won this competition more times than any other club, lifting the trophy in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018, and they now get their first chance since then to add to their tally.
Egypt’s Al Ahly have the task of stopping Carlo Ancoletti’s side, having already beaten Auckland City and the Seattle Sounders in Morocco. The winner of tonight’s clash will face Al-Hilal in Saturday’s final, after the Saudi Arabian side pulled off a huge upset to beat Copa Libertadores champions Flamengo.
