Nacho Peña reveals the real value that the Club World Cup has for Real Madrid

The Club World Cup is a title that counts for this season, so it's a great opportunity for Madrid. After a very difficult year, winning the Club World Cup would completely change the outlook. In addition, it would be a great motivation for next season.

"If Real Madrid manage to win the Club World Cup and say: 'I've won the UEFA Super Cup, I've won the Intercontinental Cup, and I've won the Club World Cup. So I've added three more titles to the museum that make the trophy case bigger, that have brought in a lot of money, and on top of that, all with international exposure.' These were Nacho Peña's words on Cope.

'If you win the Club World Cup, it becomes a season that you make up for, you turn it into a decent season,' the journalist added. He isn't wrong, because the Club World Cup is a trophy that will end up having the same prestige as the Champions League, or even more. That's why it's important to value what's being achieved.

The main objective

Right now, Real Madrid want to lift the trophy no matter what. They attach great importance to the title and believe they're going to have a chance to win it in this first edition. They're one of the favorites, but there are also many other teams of a high level.

For now, Real Madrid have earned approximately €41 million ($41 million) with the group stage of the Club World Cup. If they keep advancing through the rounds, this income will increase significantly, so it's a competition worth fighting for. It's not just about income, because it's a prestigious trophy.

They're motivated

All Real Madrid players are really enjoying this stage with Xabi Alonso. They've only been together for a few weeks, but they're already starting to understand the coach's vision for this team. He's paying close attention to all the footballers and their fit in the plan, and that's something that really appeals to them.

If they keep working the same way, they can win important things during this season. They must not slow down at any time.
