Real Madrid and Juventus reunited again in 7 years! The Club World Cup quarterfinals rekindled the grudges and hatreds in Europe

Not seen for seven years, grudges arise again. In the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup next Wednesday, Real Madrid and Juventus will meet again. This game is not only a contest of technical strength, but also a reappearance of historical grievances. The confrontation between two European giants has long surpassed the meaning of football itself.

Historical Review: The Origin of Grudges, Love and Revenge

Open the history of Real Madrid and Juventus's battles. All 21 official confrontations occurred in the European arena, and Real Madrid has a slightly superior record of 10 wins, 9 losses and 2 draws. However, behind the numbers is the scar that is difficult to heal in the hearts of Juventus fans - the tragic defeats in two Champions League finals.

In Amsterdam in 1998, Miatovic's goal in the 66th minute allowed Real Madrid to win the Champions League trophy again after 32 years. This controversial goal remains the focus of debate among fans of the two teams: Juventus insists that offside is the first, while Real Madrid fans firmly defend the legitimacy of the goal. One goal, two interpretations, has created a classic controversial moment in football history.

What even broke Juventus fans' hearts was the 2017 Cardiff final. Ronaldo and Mandzukic each scored one goal in the first half, and the 1-1 score made people see the balance. However, the collapse in the second half came so suddenly - Casemiro and Ronaldo scored again, Asensio added icing on the cake, and the 4-1 score completely shattered the Zebras' dream of winning.

The pre-match trend of this Club World Cup is in 2025, and the performance of the two teams in the Club World Cup is in sharp contrast. Real Madrid continues its strong performance in recent years, and has made great progress to the quarterfinals; while Juventus's road seems to be much bumpy, especially the 5-2 defeat by Manchester City in the last round, which has caused the outside world to question its prospects.

To make matters worse, Juventus will also lose its main player Savona in this critical battle. The trouble of injury makes the Zebra Legion not favored even more difficult.

The most convincing prediction comes from Juventus legendary star Del Piero. This meritorious player who has played for the old woman for 20 years has personally experienced the painful final defeat in 1998.

" Even his own legend is not optimistic, which shows Juventus' situation. The significance of the classic duel: surpassing the influence of the game
