Pachuca, CONCACAF Champions Cup winners, will face Real Madrid in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final.
Pachuca from Mexico secured their spot in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final by winning the CONCACAF Champions Cup in June and advancing through a playoff against teams from the other confederations. Real Madrid has won three of their last six games in all competitions, drawing 3-3 away at Rayo Vallecano in their last outing. Their most recent match against opposition outside of Spain was on December 10, when Carlo Ancelotti's team defeated Italy's Atalanta 3-2 in the Champions League.
Meanwhile, Pachuca takes on Real Madrid after overcoming Brazil's Botafogo and Egypt's Al Ahly to reach the Intercontinental Cup final. In Liga MX, Pachuca has been struggling and did not qualify for the Apertura 2024, the first championship available in Mexico's top league. Kylian Mbappe, who missed Real Madrid's match against Rayo Vallecano through injury, has been included in the 24-man squad for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final. However, it's unclear if Mbappe will feature in the match. The match kicks off at 12 p.m. EST/9 a.m. PST/8 p.m. local time in the United States
