Mbappe ended the 2024/25 season with a humiliating defeat to PSG. |
What many fans are curious about is why Real will no longer have the chance to play in the third-place match, which is a common practice in many major tournaments such as the World Cup. The reason is that FIFA has confirmed that the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ will not hold a third-place match.
In an official announcement, FIFA stressed: "There will be no third-place match or bronze medal match at the FIFA Club World Cup2025™. This decision is to help clubs and players return to prepare for the next tasks as soon as possible."
As such, Real Madrid must return to Spain early to prepare for the 2025/26 season, which begins next month with the opening match against Osasuna. The Spanish Royal team has not yet announced the schedule of friendly matches or summer tours, giving Xabi Alonso more time to reorganize the squad after the humiliating defeat to PSG.
In the opposite direction, PSG will play the final of the Club World Cup 2025™ against Chelsea, who beat Fluminense 2-0 thanks to a brace from new signing Joao Pedro. After that, Luis Enrique's team will continue their journey to conquer the new season with the European Super Cup against Tottenham before returning to Ligue 1 to play the opening match against Nantes.
A challenging summer awaits Real Madrid ahead, and the shock defeat to PSG will certainly be a valuable lesson for Xabi Alonso and his players.
