Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal take on Spanish giants Real Madrid in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup.

After talking up their chances of beating Real Madrid, the champions of South America did not even reach the final.

They crossed the finish line as if it had run out of fuel and dragged themselves to reach the finish line, and it wasn’t meant to be like that.” He didn’t seem to be able to make the team evolve and that’s why they looked for another coach. Cezar points out that the season has not even begun yet and fans should judge Pereira on the Libertadores, Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil. Pereira will probably keep job, but he will need to retain the Copa Libertadores and overcome Palmeiras in the league to win over the fans. Zico sympathised with the fans who made huge sacrifices to travel to Morocco. There has also been criticism of Pereira, with many fans baffled by his decision to replace his two most creative midfielders – Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Éverton Ribeiro – when Flamengo were chasing the game. “Flamengo is at the level it is today thanks to two sales to Real Madrid, which made it possible for them to assemble a great squad. “The players and coaching staff are more used to these happy moments and difficult moments, so they will overcome them. The defeat has been tough for Flamengo fans. “I didn’t see Flamengo happy, cheerful, with that hunger and spirit that we are used to seeing.” “Real Madrid, your time will come,” chanted Braz in a clip that came back to haunt Flamengo after their embarrassing 3-2 defeat to Al-Hilal in the semi-finals. “Flamengo was not Flamengo on the field and many problems made that happen,” he said.

Al-Hilal have plenty of history and have won everything there is to win in club football except for what is on offer on Saturday. Playing Real Madrid in the ...

Yet on Wednesday, while the scoreline was convincing, there are some positives for Al-Hilal to take. Al-Hilal beating Real Madrid would certainly be no bigger a shock than Saudi Arabia beating Argentina at the World Cup. At the other end, there was plenty of space to work with and with the striking talent that Al-Hilal have, there are goals to be had, especially if the forward line can get into gear. If such talent can find their scoring boots then the four-time Asian champions will carry a serious goal threat especially when there are the likes of Al-Dawsari, Andre Carrillo and Vietto coming from a little deeper. Ultimately, the 18-time Saudi Arabia champions managed the game and the Brazilian powerhouse in an impressive fashion. The impressive Luciano Vietto added a third and while Pedro reduced the arrears, Al-Hilal were ultimately comfortable winners. There they were last Saturday taking on the African champions Wydad AC on their home soil of Morocco in front of 50,000 loud — very loud — and passionate fans. They took the lead, had the early goal canceled out and then everything changed on the stroke of half-time as a penalty was given that Salem Al-Dawsari converted and the Brazilians were reduced to 10 men. Just as it looked as if the Blues were heading home, they dug deep, stayed in the game and held their nerve in the penalty shootout. There is also nothing to lose for the Saudi Arabian champions. To go back to Riyadh and then take on Al-Feiha on Wednesday as world champions would be quite something. Playing Real Madrid in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup?
