The new Club World Cup has ushered in two focus games on this match day. The two top giants Real Madrid and Manchester City, with a net worth of 1.33 billion euros and 1.31 billion euros, both ushered in their group stage debut in this Club World Cup, against Saudi giant Riyadh Crescent and Monaco Vidard respectively. However, the two giants' debut endings were completely different. Manchester City defeated Vadard 2-0, while Real Madrid missed the finale, and shook hands with Riyadh Crescent 1-1.

Manchester City 2-0, Vadard

Blue Moon Army, Manchester City, which invested heavily in the winter window, still has not been able to get rid of the fate of being empty in the season. In order to regain its former glory, Manchester City will surely start a big buying mode this summer. Before the start of the Club World Cup, Manchester City, who is not short of money, has signed Sherkey, Reindes and Aitnuri. The Blue Moon Army after the upgraded lineup will definitely want to achieve good results in the Club World Cup, and sweep the decline of last season. The opponent of Vadard in the first match is only 17 million euros, ranking third from the bottom among the 32 participating teams. This is also the reason why fans are optimistic about Manchester City's victory before the game.

As fans expected, after the game started, Manchester City completely suppressed Vader on the scene. With a ball possession rate of 68%, they created 15 shots in the whole game, 6 of which hit the target. In the first half, Foden scored the first goal, breaking his five-month goal drought, and becoming the first English player to score goals in two Club World Cups. Foden then assisted Doku to score, and finally defeated Vader 2-0. After this game, Guardiola won all nine games in the Club World Cup.

Real Madrid 1-1 Riyadh Crescent

Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid's experience last season was very similar to Manchester City. He had a luxurious lineup, but after the end of the season, he did not win any championship. Real Madrid also carried out drastic reforms in the offseason. Young coach Alonso took office and replaced Ancelotti who left and became the new helmsman of the Galaxy Battleship. He definitely wanted to achieve good results in the first official match he led the team to the Club World Cup. Real Madrid encountered the Saudi giant Riyadh Crescent in the first group stage. The two sides had a fight in the Club World Cup in the 23-year Club World Cup, and Real Madrid laughed 5-3 at the time.

With the referee's whistle, both sides began to attack on the court. Riyadh Crescent scored the first goal in the first half, but was cancelled because of offside first. The Galaxy Battleship, which escaped, took a 1-0 lead in the 34th minute with the goal of young player Gonzalo Garcia. Unfortunately, before the end of the half, Raul Asensio gave a point, Ruben Neves scored a point shot, and Riyadh Crescent equalized the score. In the last moment of the game, Gonzalo Garcia won a penalty for Real Madrid, but Valverde's point shot was saved by the goalkeeper of the Crescent, and the two teams finally tied 1-1.

Next, Manchester City and Real Madrid will get three days off. In the second round of the group stage, the Blue Moon Army and the Galaxy Battleships will play against UAE team Ain and Pachuca from Mexico respectively. Whether the strength can be far inferior to their opponents, whether the two giants can get three points as they wish and take the initiative to qualify, let's wait and see.
