    Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund - Club World Cup Thriller

Kylian Mbappe produced a breathtaking moment in extra time to secure Real Madrid’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund, sealing their place in the semi-finals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Xabi Alonso’s side started the game with immense energy and intensity, quickly asserting their dominance on the pitch. Early goals from Gonzalo Garcia and Fran Garcia stunned the German side and gave Los Blancos a commanding 2-0 advantage within the first 20 minutes of play.

Gonzalo Garcia, who has been in sensational form throughout the tournament, opened the scoring in the 10th minute after a beautifully orchestrated passing sequence that carved open Dortmund’s defense. Just ten minutes later, Fran Garcia doubled Madrid’s lead with a clinical finish, arriving unmarked to slot home a pinpoint cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose overlapping runs caused problems throughout the match.

Real Madrid continued to press forward with confidence. Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni both came close to adding a third goal before halftime, with Tchouameni striking the crossbar from distance in a moment that had Madrid fans on their feet.

Despite Madrid’s early control, Borussia Dortmund gradually grew into the contest. The Bundesliga side began to create more chances in the second half, forcing Thibaut Courtois into several important saves. Their persistence paid off in stoppage time when Max Beier managed to pull a goal back, slotting the ball calmly past Courtois after a defensive lapse from Madrid’s back line.

With momentum shifting towards Dortmund, extra time began with Madrid under pressure. However, Kylian Mbappe stepped up at the crucial moment. Just minutes into extra time, Mbappe acrobatically converted a corner kick with a spectacular bicycle kick, restoring Madrid’s two-goal cushion and delivering one of the most memorable goals of the tournament so far.

Dortmund, refusing to give up, responded again when Serhou Guirassy won a penalty after being brought down by Dean Huijsen. The challenge resulted in Huijsen receiving a straight red card, leaving Madrid to finish the game with ten men. Guirassy calmly converted the spot-kick, bringing the score to 3-2 and setting up a tense finale.

In the final minutes, Dortmund pushed forward relentlessly in search of an equalizer. Thibaut Courtois, demonstrating why he is considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world, produced a crucial save to deny Dortmund in the dying seconds and preserve Madrid’s lead.

With this thrilling win, Real Madrid now advance to face Paris Saint-Germain in what promises to be an electrifying semi-final clash in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Fans around the world eagerly await to see if Mbappe can continue his heroics against his former club.
