Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund LIVE!

Real Madrid take on Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

There will be no face-off between the Bellingham brothers - Jude of Real and Jobe of Dortmund - with the latter suspended for collating too many yellow cards, but it should be a cracker nonetheless. Follow all the action LIVE below!

Tactical observations

It’s looking like a 4-3-3 up against a 3-5-2.

Both managers - Alonso and Kovac - have thrived in the Bundesliga playing back threes, but it appears that Alonso has altered his approach somewhat to fit in with Madrid’s long-lasting principles of playing a 4-3-3.

As such, it’ll be a case of getting the full-backs involved to support attacks, with Alexander-Arnold inverting, inhabiting the space that Valverde leaves behind when he bombs on.

Fran Garcia will look to keep the width a bit more down the left, and get round Vinicius Junior, who will look to cut inside at every opportunity.

Jude Bellingham’s role will be that of an all-action battler, combined with the usual box-crashing that we have become so used to seeing.

Biggest absentees

There are a few big-name absentees this evening.

The first is Jamie Gittens, who today completed his move to Chelsea from Dortmund for, as Standard Sport understands, £55million including add-ons.

The next for Dortmund is Jobe Bellingham, who accured too many bookings and is therefore suspended to face his brother Jude.

The final one is Mbappe, although he could feature off the bench, like he did against Juventus. He recovered from a fever to make his return to action last time out. Will he have the last laugh tonight?

Standard Sport prediction

This is a tight one to call.

Yes, Real are the favourites, but Dortmund have a stacked squad full of talent that could hurt the La Liga side.

However, Madrid should have too much for them to progress.

Real Madrid team news

Kylian Mbappe could be in line for his first start of the Club World Cup after he came on as a substitute against Juventus.

Mbappe’s return could see Gonzalo Garcia drop to the bench despite his impressive form in the Frenchman’s absence. The forward has registered three goals and one assist in four Club World Cup games.

However, they are still missing David Alaba, Endrick, Ferland Mendy, and Edouardo Camavinga.
