Real Madrid kicked off their 2025 Club World Cup campaign with a dominant 3-1 victory over Pachuca, and the celebration among fans was nothing short of euphoric. From chants in the stands to emotional tears, the Madridistas in Charlotte lived a night to remember.

"I'm living a dream—watching Real Madrid, the best team in the world," repeated countless fans as they embraced each other after the final whistle. With goals, smart substitutions, and a strong team performance, Xabi Alonso’s squad made a statement in their tournament debut.

Honoring the past, believing in the present

Fans didn’t just celebrate the win—they appreciated the game’s emotional depth.
“I loved how Alonso made his substitutions, especially bringing Modrić on at the end. We know a legend is leaving,” shared one supporter, acknowledging the bittersweet moment for the Croatian icon.

Others came with mixed emotions. “I support Pachuca and Madrid... it hurt on one side, but I was happy on the other. Madrid looks sharp, they’re trying new things—that gives me hope,” said another.

“Así, así, así gana Madrid”

The chants echoed around the stadium: "Así, así, así gana Madrid!"
Despite tough competition ahead—like PSG and top South American clubs—confidence remains high.
“Yes, I believe Madrid can go all the way. This team has something special.”

With one win in the bag, the message from the white-clad crowd in the U.S. is clear: this team is more than history—it’s a present-day force. And as the goals keep coming, the Madridista dream lives on stronger than ever.
