Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Al-Hilal, then beat Pachuca and RB Salzburg as they get used to life under new coach Xabi Alonso.
He too had a lot of injury issues, missing David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Endrick, Daniel Carvajal and Eder Militao.
Kylian Mbappé was suffering from a nasty bout of gastroenteritis, so has not played a minute of Club World Cup football so far and is for the first time on the bench.
It is therefore the same starting XI that beat RB Salzburg 3-0, with Gonzalo Garcia, Vinicius Junior and Arda Guler.
That sends Jude Bellingham into a deeper role, while former Juventus youth team player Dean Huijsen faces his former club.
Another summer signing playing today is ex-Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.
