Club World Cup quarter-final action concludes at MetLife Stadium where Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund meet later today.
It is a repeat of the 2024 Champions League final with a place in the semi-final against either PSG or Bayern Munich on the line.
Madrid are the record winners of this tournament with five titles. Dortmund, meanwhile, have never won it.

It all started at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida where Al Hilal — the conquerors of Manchester City in the last 16 — were eliminated by Fluminense. The hero for the Brazilians was, once again, the appropriately named Hercules as he came off the bench to score the winner.
Then Chelsea made it past Palmeiras. Cole Palmer's first-half opener was cancelled out by a brilliant finish from Estevao, who is joining Chelsea after the conclusion of this tournament, before a late own goal sealed the Premier League side's place in the semi-final.

There's a bit of a UEFA Champions League feel to today's Club World Cup action as it is an all-European affair in today's quarter-finals.
Up first is a meeting between the European champions and the German champions before our focus turns to this match.

All times ET
MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey
This is the place to be for the rest of the Club World Cup as each of the last four matches of the tournament will be played here. Both semifinals and the final will be played in the same stadium that will host the 2026 World Cup final. Javing been to MetLife Stadium multiple times to cover the Copa America last summer, I can understand why the venue has been chosen for back-to-back FIFA tournament finals.
It’s gigantic. It’s the type of stadium that makes one feel tiny in comparison with the colossal concrete structure. Argentina’s Copa América semifinal against Canada was a prime example of what MetLife Stadium can sound like for a big international football match. The Argentines took over the ground, chanting and singing throughout the game.

Two kick-off slots today and this one is in the later of the two. Fortunately for those of you hoping to follow from Europe, it isn't too late.
