Gonzalo Garcia scored the only goal as Real Madrid edged Juventus out of the Club World Cup in a lethargic affair in Miami. The Floridian humidity has a special knack for draining one’s energy, and it clearly had that same effect today as the two European heavyweights struggled for energy and creativity.

The 21-year-old Garcia, drafted in as an understudy to the poorly Kylian Mbappe, scored what proved to be the winner shortly after half-time to strengthen his claim to a more prominent role in the star-studded side.

Juventus came into the tie fresh off the back of a thoroughly demoralising 5-2 loss to Manchester City, but Igor Tudor’s much-rotated side arrived at the Hard Rock Stadium keen to get their own back. Real, on the other hand, looked off the boil from the first whistle, dogged in defence when called upon but blunt in attack, reduced in the first half to speculative long-range efforts which Michele Di Gregorio was more than happy to catch.
