The 2025 Club World Cup Round of 16 will feature another highlight, with Juventus heading to the Hard Rock Stadium to take on La Liga giants Real Madrid. Igor Tudor said it was a very worthwhile match to play in and called on his team to show fighting spirit and courage in the match.

In the third round of the group stage, Juventus lost 2-5 to Premier League giants Manchester City after goals from Kupmenas and Vlahovic, and advanced to the round of 16 as the second in the group.

As for Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso's team qualified for the round of 16 with 2 wins and 1 draw in the group stage, and their ambition to win the championship is just as strong.

Juventus coach Igor Tudor said at a press conference, "I expect this will be a difficult game against a prestigious and strong team. In the past 10 years, Real Madrid has shown their value in all competitions. In games like this, Real Madrid is always competitive. We are ready and want to keep going and go all out."

"I liked Real Madrid's performance in the last game very much. I saw their quality, team spirit and fighting spirit. That is a real team."

Tudor also said, "The game ahead of us will be very difficult, but we have also conducted sufficient analysis. I told the players that this is the most worthwhile game. Every team wants to beat Real Madrid, and we also want to try. We must face the game with this mentality and show great courage."

“As for the previous defeat to Manchester City, defeat is inevitable in the game and in life, we have to accept it and look forward. We have advanced from the group stage and now ushered in the first step of the knockout stage. The difficulty of this challenge is obvious, but we must believe in ourselves and do everything we can to win and advance.”

In addition, Igor Tudor added, "Opponents will certainly bring pressure, but we must keep our faith, we must run hard, be willing to sacrifice, avoid mistakes and try not to give the opponent any chances. I am confident that when the game starts, everything is possible."
