Real Madrid won against Juventus, and as a Juventus fan I'm not surprised at all, I'm actually glad we managed to lose only 1-0, all thanks to Di Gregorio, Juventus' goalkeeper who did some very good savings, if it wasn't for him we would have lost at least 4-0. The difference between the two teams was clear. I am always very disappointed by Gonzalez and Koopmeiners, so much money wasted for these 2 players...

Those who watched the match between Real Madrid vs Juventus live and especially those who are Real Madrid fans must have thought about how their team could perform so poorly. I have seen how well-organized Real Madrid football is before but if they watch the highlights of the haphazard football they played against Juventus, they might regret how they played such a game. Madrid won and secured the next round, that is a different matter, but we did not see a good performance from Real Madrid, that is probably a regret and it also seems that if they perform the same in the quarter-finals, they might have to lose there.

I wouldn't take these matches too seriously because we are at the end of the season and this tournament is like a friendly competition for European teams. Real Madrid are being managed by a new coach, he's been there for a few weeks, the team is tired, the players want to go on holiday, the way they perform now is irrelevant for the next season. We are seeing some crazy results like PSG losing to Botafogo, City losing to Al Hilal, etc, everything can happen at the end.

In my opinion, the Club World Cup is not like a friendly match, in fact, it is a competition that will be prestigious later because this competition is followed by various teams from all over the world. When Man City and PSG lose, it does not mean that this competition is a friendly match, you can see for yourself when Man City lost to Al Hilal, this match showed a very competitive match. So I do not agree if you say this competition is like a friendly match.

For me, this is an unfounded statement, what is clear is that this is the first new format with the Global Major tournament for the Club World Cup and moreover it is only held once every 4 years.
In terms of prestige, this is the most important and prestigious cup. It's just that many people protest about this competition, not the level, but the intensity of the match which is too much with too little rest time for European teams. Moreover, the Club World Cup is good because the prize money is large for Club income.
