Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund team news and talking points
Real Madrid
Xabi Alonso took over Los Blancos ahead of the Club World Cup and remains unbeaten after four games, a run which has taken his men into the quarter-finals.
It has not been plain sailing - there were some uncomfortable moments during the opening 1-1 draw with Al Hilal - but they showed their class to see off Juventus 1-0 in the Round of 16.
The good news for Alonso as he prepares to face Dortmund this weekend is that his star striker, Kylian Mbappe, is fit again after illness, having made his first appearance of the tournament as a substitute against Juve on Tuesday.
However Gonzalo Garcia has been superb in the tournament and will want to start again.
Raul Asencio is free to play again after serving a one-match ban, while Endrick is fit again.
Previous XI: Courtois; Rüdiger, Tchouaméni, Huijsen; Alexander-Arnold, Bellingham, Valverde, Güler, F. García; G. García, Vinícius
Borussia Dortmund
Jobe Bellingham, who signed for Borussia Dortmund from Sunderland earlier this summer, is ineligible after being booked in the Round of 16 win over Monterrey.
With two cautions now to his name, he will now serve an automatic suspension, ensuring there will be no match-up with his elder brother and Real Madrid star Jude.
Dortmund boss Niko Kovac, who will assess his options before choosing Bellingham's replacement, said: “Jobe is young and his brother is also young so I'm convinced they will face each other, maybe next season in the Champions League and then the future. The future is for them.
“The Club World Cup would be nice but now it isn't. Someone else must play for him but it's also okay.”
Marcel Sabitzer or Julian Brandt should replace the Englishman.
Jamie Gittens, linked with a move to Chelsea, is said to be ill and likely to miss out again
Previous XI: Kobel; Süle, Anton, Bensebaini; Ryerson, Groß, Nmecha, Svensson, Bellingham; Adeyemi, Guirassy

Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund prediction
It is difficult to back against Xabi Alonso's men given the strength and depth of their squad, especially with Kylian Mbappe back fit again.
He is a huge weapon to use off the bench if required and, with Gonzalo Garcia currently in fine form for Los Blancos, expect them to edge past Dortmund in a tightly-contested encounter.
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Borussia Dortmund
