Real Madrid managed to secure its spot in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup by defeating Juventus. It continues its journey and the next obstacle will be Borussia Dortmund, which also qualified. However, it was close to going into extra time against Rayados due to a header from Ramos.

However, Madrid and Dortmund fulfilled their roles and will face each other seeking a ticket to the semifinals. This match will be a repeat of the Champions League final we witnessed at Wembley in 2024. The last matchup we needed to know in the bracket has now been set.

When Real Madrid – Borussia Dortmund will be played

The quarterfinals will begin this Friday, although we'll have to wait a bit longer to see Real Madrid. That's because this coming Saturday the Merengues will face Borussia Dortmund. July 5 is the chosen date to find out who will be the semifinalist in the Club World Cup.

What time Real Madrid – Borussia Dortmund will be played

We already know that the Club World Cup is being held in the United States in this first edition. This is something to keep in mind due to the time difference between both countries. We've already seen some matches played in the early morning hours in Spain.

This time, there won't be a need to stay up too late to watch Real Madrid – Borussia Dortmund. The Club World Cup quarterfinals will be played at 10:00 p.m. this Saturday in Spain (22:00 h), one hour earlier in the Canary Islands. This will be the match that closes this round and we'll find out the last semifinalist.

Real Madrid avoids two very noteworthy matchups

Real Madrid will face Borussia Dortmund, which managed to defeat Rayados by two goals to one. This result means Sergio Ramos won't face his former team. In addition, Jobe Bellingham received a yellow card and will serve a suspension, so he won't face his brother Jude.
