Plenty of stars will be on the field when Real Madrid and Al Hilal meet in the Club World Cup.
Real Madrid, one of the giants of club football, is coming off a rare trophy-less season, which led to Carlo Ancelotti's sacking. Xabi Alonso, a former Madrid midfield star, came in after a successful stint at Bayer Leverkusen in Germany.
Madrid have added defensive reinforcements in right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and center-back Dean Huijsen, with more signings expected over the next few months. Vinicius Jr., Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Fede Valverde are additional stars on the team, with Rodrygo's future in doubt.
Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal has lured plenty of ex-European stars over, which has led to domestic success. Among them include Aleksandar Mitrovic, Joao Cancelo, Kalidou Koulibaly, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Yassine Bounou, Ruben Neves, Renan Lodi and Malcom, who once was the most exciting prospect in the game. Simone Inzaghi also signed on as manager following a heavy Champions League final loss with Inter.
