'It's a pity' - Guirassy shocked to hear Bellingham is suspended
Real Madrid take on Borussia Dortmund in the Club World Cup quarter-finals but there will be no clash between the Bellingham brothers as Jobe is suspended and unable to face Jude in New York.
The quarter-final is rematch of the 2024 Champions League final, won by Real Madrid 2-0, and the winner will face either Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich in a blockbuster all-European semi-final.
Real Madrid defeated Juventus 1-0 in the last-16 in a match that saw Trent Alexander-Arnold register his first assist for the club by setting up Gonzalo Garcia’s winner and Kylian Mbappe make his first appearance of the competition.
Dortmund edged past Monterrey 2-1 but saw Jobe Bellingham pick up a yellow card that leaves him suspended from the quarter-final, and unable to face his older brother Jude. Follow updates from the Club World Cup below
Borussia Dortmund held off a stirring second-half fightback from Monterrey to complete the Club World Cup quarter-final line-up with a 2-1 win in a round-of-16 thriller.
Clinical finishes from Serhou Guirassy in the 14th and 24th minutes put Dortmund on top at the break but German Berterame hit back for Monterrey in the 48th minute and the Mexican club pressed for an equaliser until the final whistle. The Dortmund defence held firm, however, to set up a last-eight meeting with 15-time European champions Real Madrid in New Jersey.

It’s been a difficult week for the football world after the death of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, but former Liverpool vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold was left heartbroken by the passing of his team-mate.
"It’s so difficult to find the right words when your head and heart are struggling to accept that someone you care so much about has gone," Alexander-Arnold posted on Thursday night.
"Diogo, your family was your world. They were everything. For Rute, his children, and his parents, all of our hearts are broken. And for Andre as well. Brothers and best friends."When it’s less painful, I want to remember Diogo with a big smile.
"So many laughs and happy moments. He was such a great teammate and a true friend."Forever number 20. Rest in peace, Diogo."
