Get ready for football fireworks! ⚡ Real Madrid will clash with Mexico's Pachuca in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final today – a revamped tournament featuring champions from all six global federations. While Los Blancos automatically qualified as European champs, Pachuca fought through a nail-biting penalty shootout (6-5!) against Egypt's Al-Ahly after 120 goalless minutes. 🥅
⚡ Road to the Final
Madrid arrives with mixed momentum: 3 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 matches, but still trailing Barcelona in La Liga. All eyes are on Kylian Mbappé – back in training after missing Saturday's league match. Coach Ancelotti teased: \"If he's 100%, he plays. No risks.\" 🩹⚡
🌟 Mbappé’s Fitness Watch
The French ace scored before getting subbed off injured in last week's UCL thriller against Atalanta. Ancelotti confirms: \"He trained well yesterday – sprints, drills, no issues. Today's session decides everything.\" Will he start? The Bernabéu holds its breath. 🌬️
