Real Madrid aspires to seven titles this season. The first one, the UEFA Euro Super Cup, was won by Real Madrid 2-0 to Atalanta on August, with the debut match and goal by Kylian Mbappé. The second title will be played tomorrow in Lusail, Qatar: the FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
This is actually a brand new competition, succesor of the FIFA Club World Cup, meaning Real Madrid and Pachuco can become the inaugural winners of this competition, that pits all six winners of FIFA confederations (Europe, North and Central America, South America, Africa, Asia and Oceania), althout the European representative (the winner of each year's Champions League) cuts in to the final.
Pachuca, based on Hidalgo, Mexico, comes after winning the CONCACAF Champions Cup (previously CONCACAF Champions League), a continental cup for Central and North America almost always by Mexican team.
Last week, it defeated Libertadores winner Botafogo in the Derby of the Americas, to earn its place in the final.
