Korean national team defender Jang Hyeon-soo (32) meets Real Madrid in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Jang Hyun-soo’s team, Al-Hilal (Saudi Arabia), advanced to the final by defeating South American champion Flamengo (Brazil) 3-2 in the semi-finals held in Morocco on the 8th (hereafter Korean time). In the semifinals on the 9th, Real overcame Al-Ahli (Egypt), the head of the African Football Federation (CAF), 4-1. Al-Hilal and Real will compete for the Club World Cup trophy in Morocco on the 12th.

Reuters reported that Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia is giving each player a bonus of 1 million riyals (about 345 million won) and the Saudi government 500,000 riyals (about 172 million won). In other words, all players including Hyun-soo Jang and Al-Hilal received a bonus of over 500 million won. An additional bonus will be paid if the team beats Real Madrid to win the title.

Al-Hilal’s advancement to the final is the third Asian Football Confederation (AFC) club’s history and the first Saudi team’s. The AFC clubs that reached the finals of this competition were Kashima Antlers (Japan) in 2016 and Al Ain (United Arab Emirates) in 2018, and they were all satisfied with the runner-up. On the other hand, Real Madrid has won the tournament four times (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018), making it the most successful team ever. 슬롯사이트
