Real Madrid defeated Pachuca in the Intercontinental final by a 3-0 score. Although Pachuca had a great start, eventually Real Madrid would dominate the match and cruise to a win in a result that was expected by almost everyone with the clear difference in talent between the UEFA Champions League winner and the CONCACAF Champions League title holders. Pachuca thus ends up being the second Mexican team to finish in 2nd place in their equivalent after Tigres ended in 2nd place in 2020 in the now old format of the FIFA Club World Cup.
The first half started with Real Madrid coming out with their great starting 11, including Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
