Real Madrid bagged a 1-0 win against Juventus in the Round of 16 of the Club World Cup on July 1 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
With this victory, Los Blancos have booked their spot in the competition’s quarterfinal. Real Madrid have lifted the Club World Cup trophy five times so far.
The 2024/25 season saw an underwhelming run from Real Madrid, who concluded the campaign with a second-place La Liga finish and no major trophies. This makes winning this year’s Club World Cup title a bigger priority for the Spanish giants.
While speaking in the team’s locker room, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez emphasized on the importance of the Club World Cup and stated that the ongoing competition is of similar importance as the Champions League, according to the Spanish newspaper, AS.
Perez further bolstered his point by promising Real Madrid players a huge bonus if they are able to bring the Club World Cup to Santiago Bernabeu.

This marks to be the largest bonus Los Blancos have ever given to their players for such a short competition, and it is almost on par with what they offer for winning the Champions League.
Real Madrid have already received a reported €55.16 million from their progress in the Club World Cup so far, and the amount will keep increasing with their further advancement in the competition.
This makes the La Liga giants’ plans of offering individual player bonuses for winning the Club World Cup financially plausible.
Real Madrid are set to lock horns with Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinal of the Club World Cup on July 5 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
