Match Preview
| Kashima Antlers have a chance for revenge as they face Real Madrid in a repeat of the 2016 FIFA Club World Cup final, when the Spanish giants downed the Japanese side in a 4-2 extra-time thriller. |
| Abu Dhabi is the stage for this semi-final showdown, with the Asian Champions League winners securing their place after beating Guadalajara 3-2 in the quarters after turning a 1-0 half-time deficit around. That was their sixth victory in their last ten matches (W6, D3, L1). |
| The five match goals in that game sits in contrast to the total combined five match goals in Kashima’s five fixtures prior to that quarter-final clash, although the eight-time J-League winners have now scored exactly three goals in three of their last four wins. |
| Reigning tournament champions Real Madrid have the chance to win the Club World Cup for a third successive year – putting them on four titles and above fierce-rivals Barcelona (three titles, one runners-up). “When there’s a trophy at stake, we’re motivated,” midfield maestro Luka Modrić said in the build-up to this tournament, allaying fears that Real may not be as motivated as their opponents. |
| Real’s 1-0 win over Vallecano at the weekend continued Madrid’s recent allergy to draws – the Spaniards have failed to draw in their last 16 competitive fixtures (W10, L6). Just six of those were decided by a one-goal margin. |
| Players to watch: Teenager Hiroki Abe got the winner that secured Kashima’s place in this semi-final, while Real’s own teenage starlet, Vinícius Jr, will be keen to impress. |
| Stat attack: The last five times both teams scored in a Kashima match, the game ended with between four and six goals. |
| Real have been leading at half-time in four of their last five wins. |
| Madrid have scored a goal from the 50th minute to 60th minute in their three final appearances. |
