Real Madrid reached the final of the Club World Cup, after beating Al Ahly 4-1 in the semi-final clash.

The Los Blancos will play Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal in the final.

Speaking after the game against Al Ahly, Ancelotti warned of complacency from his players ahead of the final, and it’s a message that’s clearly understood.

Federico Valverde who scored in the semi-final, had said: “We have to fully respect our opponents. At times we were a bit relaxed because of the result in our favour.

“That can’t let that happen in the final. Now we have to work and rest well to go into the final with a winning mentality.”

Rodrygo also said: “The final will be difficult. We were watching Al Hilal’s semi-final and they are very good.

“We have to watch out for them. It’s going to be a difficult final, but we’re focused, now we’re going to get some rest and hopefully win the title.”
