Unsurprisingly given their domination of the UEFA Champions League in the 21st century, Real Madrid are record five-time winners of the FIFA Club World Cup.However, such an impressive history in the competition will matter little heading into this summer’s reformatted and expanded iteration of the tournament,

new Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has announced the squad list of players he will be taking to the USA this week for the FIFA Club World Cup.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was the driving force behind this, as he believed a poor Club World Cup would add early and unnecessary pressure on to Alonso for the start of the 2025-26.

Real Madrid will have two England internationals in their ranks for the new season as Trent Alexander-Arnold joins hands with Jude Bellingham at Santiago Bernabeu.

Trent Alexander-Arnold officially becomes a Galactico today.

He has opted to wear the No. 12 shirt, meaning he follows in the footsteps of one of Real Madrid's greatest-ever defenders.
