We will not have a Bellingham vs. Bellingham matchup in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Quarter-finals when Real Madrid takes on Borussia Dortmund. While Jude Bellingham will play a part (against his former side) on Saturday afternoon, his younger brother, Jobe Bellingham will miss out due to yellow card suspension.
Jobe picked up his second yellow of the tournament last night, in the 55′ of Dortmund’s round of 16 win over Monterrey.

Elsewhere Kylian Mbappe came off the bench last time out for Madrid, finally making his debut for this tournament, in the win over Juventus. Mbappe had been hospitalized from gastroenteritis, and lost some weight from the ordeal. But he’s well beyond match fit now, and it’s possible that he could even start here.
“I think day by day he will get better, and by the time of the quarters, he should be in much better shape,” manager Xabi Alonso said. “We’ll keep checking in with him every day.”
Shifting over to BVB, forward Jaime Gittens won’t be available, as he’s busy working on his imminent transfer to Chelsea.
