Real Madrid 3–2 Borussia Dortmund: Dramatic Win Sends Madrid into Club World Cup Semis

Real Madrid overcame a late scare to secure a thrilling 3–2 victory over Borussia Dortmund in their FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final at MetLife Stadium. Goals from Gonzalo García (10′) and Fran García (20′) gave Los Blancos control early on, but a frantic stoppage-time sequence kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Madrid appeared poised for comfortable progression, with García’s left-back strike following his earlier opener reflecting their dominance. However, the dramatic final minutes saw three goals, a red card, and a heroic save. Dortmund’s Maximilian Beier pulled one back in the 90+2′ mark. Kylian Mbappé then launched a sensational volley in the 90+4′ to restore Madrid’s two-goal cushion.
In a nerve-jangling finale, Madrid defender Dean Huijsen was sent off for a foul on Serhou Guirassy, who converted the resulting penalty in the 90+8′ to make it 3–2. Thibaut Courtois stood tall in the end, making a last-gasp save from Marcel Sabitzer to secure the win.
Tactical Insight and Standout Performances
Under Xabi Alonso, Madrid showed early intent by combining youthful flair with experienced structure. Gonzalo García and Fran García, both academy graduates, shone in wide positions, while Arda Güler orchestrated play with incisive vision. Conversely, Dortmund managed limited threat until late, with their response highlighting Madrid’s momentary lapse in concentration.
Defensively, Courtois was exceptional beyond his final save. His presence steadied Madrid amid chaos. Despite Huijsen’s dismissal, veteran composure from midfield anchor Aurélien Tchouaméni helped weather the storm and preserve the narrow lead.
Hook, Reaction and What Comes Next
The match began with a respectful minute’s silence in memory of the late footballers Diogo Jota and André Silva, which impacted both locker rooms. After the final whistle, Alonso expressed strong praise for Courtois’s performance, which proved decisive in the closing moments.
Real Madrid will now face Paris Saint-Germain, featuring the returning Mbappé, in the semi-final on July 8. This sets up a compelling reunion between the French superstar and his former club.

Arsenal 1-1 Manchester City: Martinelli Strikes Late to Deny Guardiola’s Men

Arsenal and Manchester City shared the spoils in a tense Premier League encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, as Gabriel Martinelli’s stoppage-time strike salvaged a 1-1 draw for the Gunners. The result leaves Arsenal unbeaten against City in recent meetings, but both sides may feel they missed a chance to make a strong statement in the title race.
City made the brighter start and struck in just the ninth minute. Tijjani Reijnders launched a rapid counterattack, combining with Erling Haaland, who finished with trademark precision past David Raya to give the visitors the lead. Arsenal, by contrast, struggled for rhythm in the first half, finding it difficult to break down City’s compact shape while also leaving themselves vulnerable on the break.
The second half saw a shift in momentum. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta introduced Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze, whose energy and creativity tilted the game in the home side’s favour. Arsenal pressed higher, dominated possession, and carved out opportunities, but City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma stood firm, making key saves to frustrate the Gunners. Pep Guardiola’s side, meanwhile, chose to sit deep and protect their narrow lead, sacrificing attacking intent in favour of defensive organisation.
Just when it seemed City’s resilience would deliver all three points, Arsenal struck back in dramatic fashion. In the third minute of stoppage time, Eze’s long ball released Martinelli, who kept his composure to lob Donnarumma and send the Emirates into raptures. The goal secured a deserved point for Arsenal, who had pressed relentlessly in search of an equaliser.
The result leaves Arsenal on 10 points from five matches, while City sit on seven. For Arsenal, the draw was a relief but also a reminder of the fine margins in top-level contests. For City, the late concession underscored lingering questions about their ability to maintain control when defending a lead. Both teams, however, remain firmly in the early title picture, and Sunday’s clash offered a glimpse of the intensity likely to define the race ahead.
