Potential starting lineups for the final between Real Madrid and Pachuca

In the Intercontinental Cup final, Pachuca takes on Real Madrid in an attempt to achieve a new feat.

At Qatar's Lusail Stadium, Real Madrid and Pachuca will face off to determine the FIFA Intercontinental Cup winner. The Merengues are the clear favorite to win the championship, according to the forecasts, but the Tuzos are trying to set a new record.

Hidalgo's team will play the current UEFA champions, a formidable group from the Spanish capital that advances to the Intercontinental Cup Final. Despite the fact that Real Madrid has the most expensive team in the world and appears capable of defeating the Tuzos, Guillermo Almada's team has shown some excellent performances throughout the campaign.

Pachuca defeated Botafogo in a decisive and unexpected victory to make their FIFA tournament debut. After winning the Copa Libertadores, the Brazilian squad qualified for the competition, but the Tuzos beat those 3-0.

Pachuca played the Egyptian team Al-Ahly in the battle for a Grand Final ticket, and the Tuzos prevailed after a thrilling round of penalties.

Following the victory against Al-Ahly, the Pachuca manager stated that although defeating Real Madrid appears to be a very tough task, he reassured that they are thrilled to play one of the most significant clubs in the world in an official tournament.

It will be challenging and extremely complex, Almada told FIFA's official website, particularly considering the football marathon they had today. However, they will make every effort to get the players back and approach this game with maximum motivation.
