1. Fully 2 years after Lionel Messi and Argentina touched the World Cup sky, Real Madrid lifted the FIFA Intercontinental Cup for the 4th time in the club’s history at Qatar’s iconic Lusail .
This is the 9th world championship title, if you count the 5 FIFA Club World Cups that Real Madrid conquered in its record collection.

The victory in Doha also marked the second title milestone that the Royal Spanish team won this season, after the European Super Cup 4 months ago. Another victory of the new galaxy that Florentino Perez built, with Kylian Mbappe appearing.
It was Mbappe who scored the opening goal near the end of the first half, in a match where Pachuca entered the game quite well, causing Thibaut Courtois’s goal to wobble many times.
Rodrygo doubled the Champions League champions’ lead at the beginning of the second half with a goal worth watching over and over again without getting bored. The Brazilian player scored in the second consecutive match, ending a difficult period lasting 2 and a half months, when he was silent due to injury and physical problems.
Pachuca is no longer able to withstand the power of Real Madrid. The Mexican team collapsed and Vinicius Junior scored 3-0 on the penalty spot in the 84th minute.
2. That is Real Madrid’s fate. They may have to think and lose direction during the season, still unable to fit Mbappe into the squad to achieve the best version, but always know how to conquer trophies.
