Neither side can advance to the Round of 16 with a victory, but they will both be keen to secure full points after less-than-desirable openers. Real Madrid played to a 1-1 draw with Al Hilal to begin their campaign. The Spanish giants were denied the three points when Federico Valverde's penalty attempt in the final minute was saved. Kylian Mbappe remains sidelined due to illness and will miss Sunday's encounter.
Pachuca narrowly fell 2-1 to FC Salzburg to start their campaign. New head coach Jaime Lozano will likely once again be without the services of dynamic winger Oussama Idrissi, who suffered an injury before their opener and is doubtful to play against Los Blancos.
This contest is also a rematch of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup 2024™ final in Doha, Qatar, during which Real Madrid defeated the Mexican side 3-0.
"This is without a doubt the most important match I’ve had as a coach at club level, not just because of the opponent and what they represent, but also because of what we’re playing for. We couldn’t get the result we had hoped for in the previous match and the same thing happened with Real Madrid, who are accustomed to always winning and being a candidate in every tournament they play. We will try to do everything possible tomorrow to win the match.”
Pachuca coach Jaime Lozano
"We’ve played against Pachuca already this season and we know that they have a very high level, so we have to give our all and play at our level to be able to win this match tomorrow. In the December match against Pachuca I played in defence and I thought [Salomon] Rondon is a very strong player. I remember in the first minutes they pushed hard to try to win the match, so tomorrow we have to start strong from the first minute and play at our level.”
Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni
"We expect a very intense match. It's very important, without a doubt, that we play well, that we have a good game and that we win. In such a short tournament in the group stage, after the draw we have a necessity to win, and apart from winning, have a good performance, play a more complete match with or without the ball. We've still only spent a few days together but the schedule of the tournament obliges you to compete well. We trained well today and so we're eager to play tomorrow."
Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso
