Real Madrid holds off hard-charging Borussia Dortmund to earn semi-final berth
Gonzalo Garcia rewarded his coach's faith in him with the opening goal to help Real Madrid to a wild-ending 3-2 win against Borussia Dortmund in East Rutherford, N.J. on Saturday afternoon to advance to the semifinals of the Club World Cup. Real Madrid holds off hard-charging Borussia Dortmund to earn semi-final berth Real Madrid will play Paris Saint-Germain in the same city on Wednesday. With superstar Kylian Mbappe gradually recovering from an illness, coach Xabi Alonso elected to instead start the 21-year-old Garcia and he scored his fourth goal of the Club World Cup in the 10th minute. Fran Garcia, no relation, made it 2-0 in the 20th. Then it got crazy. Dortmund's Max Beier cut the lead in half in the second minute of second-half stoppage time. Mbappe, who entered in the 67th minute, made it 3-1 in 90 4 with a spectacular side-volley but Real Madrid defender Dean Huijsen was red-carded in 90 6 for a foul in the box and Serhou Guirassy converted the penalty kick in 90 8. Dortmund had one final try and Thibaut Courtois made a great full-extension save on Marcel Sabitzer in 90 10. The match looked fully in hand until a clearance bounced to Beier and he first-timed a strike that brushed Huijsen on the way in to make it 2-1. Mbappe then did his thing from the left side of the 6-yard box off the second assist of the match for Guler. Just as Real Madrid was ready to exhale, Huijsen prevented goal-scoring opportunity and Guirassy scored for the third time in two matches. Huijsen is suspended for the semifinal. It was left to Courtois with his diving stop at the left corner to finally seal the win. Field Level Media This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Real Madrid vs. Juventus reiterates regret over Huijsen and Kelly
When Juventus face Real Madrid in the Club World Cup, it will also be a moment of bitter regret, as Dean Huijsen has flourished, while Lloyd Kelly cost more.

Liverpool immediately have salt rubbed in wounds after £50m transfer collapse
Liverpool have been particularly successful when it comes to signing their top transfer targets, but there was one player who slipped through their net this summer Dean Huijsen has been hailed as Real Madrid's signing of the century following his standout performances at the Club World Cup. The La Liga giants snapped up Huijsen from Bournemouth for a hefty £50million this summer, beating Liverpool to his signature. Spain international Huijsen had caught the eye of several Premier League clubs, with Anfield chiefs openly expressing their desire to recruit the ex-Roma defender. However, the 20-year-old had his heart set on playing at the Bernabeu. Despite Liverpool having a fruitful transfer window with the acquisitions of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, missing out on his signature has left their centre-back search to continue and will have come as a blow, especially after his stellar showings under Xabi Alonso in the USA. He has been an ever-present figure in Real Madrid 's line-up so far, completing 90 minutes in both Club World Cup matches and forming a solid partnership with academy graduate Raul Asencio. His performance was particularly noteworthy during the team's 3-1 win over Pachuca, where he stood firm even after Asencio's early sending off. Tomas Roncero, a pundit for Cadena SER, didn't hold back in his praise when he said Huijsen was the club's "signing of the century" in defence. Back in April, reports from the Mail suggested that Arne Slot was keen on a £95m double swoop for Huijsen and Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth The Reds are nearing a deal to secure Kerkez, yet they will probably feel the sting of Huijsen's choice to join Real. The ex-Juventus star recently told Real's club media team: "It's a dream come true for me. "I think every kid dreams of playing for Real Madrid. It's the greatest club in the world and I'm very happy and really proud to be here. "It's a great group and there's real togetherness in the dressing room. We're thrilled to have Xabi Alonso here as well. "I think he has loads of good ideas and we're going to have some great years together. We are Real Madrid. We have to win and I think we're going to do just that." Liverpool remain on the hunt to fortify their defence, with rumours swirling over an interest in Crystal Palace and England international Marc Guehi. The ex-Chelsea centre-back is entering the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park, putting Liverpool among other keen clubs in a favourable bargaining position. Should Guehi decide on a move to the Reds, he would become the third defensive reinforcement this summer. Strengthening the backline became essential following Trent Alexander-Arnold's switch to the Spanish capital. Frimpong was swiftly brought in as a direct successor. Additionally, Kerkez is set to challenge Andy Robertson for the left-back spot should his £40m move be completed, although Robertson himself has recently been linked with a transfer to Atletico Madrid. In the meantime, Spanish publication Marca has reported that Liverpool's central defender Ibrahima Konate is on Real's radar for the 2026/27 season. The Frenchman's contract is set to expire next year and there are fears that Los Blancos could swoop in and sign him at the end of his contract, much like they did with Alexander-Arnold this summer.

Huijsen and Kerkez nominated for prestigious players' player award
DEAN Huijsen and Milos Kerkez have both been nominated for the prestigious PFA Young Player of the Year award for their performances for the Cherries last season. Huijsen, who has joined Real Madrid, and Kerkez, who looks set to join Liverpool, both impressed in a record-breaking season for AFC Bournemouth. The pair starred in an excellent Bournemouth backline which conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League across the season in the club's history. (Image: Richard Crease) Now-Chelsea striker Liam Delap, Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri and Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers complete the shortlist. The nominees are chosen by the players of the Professional Footballers' Association, with Huijsen also receiving praise from his teammates, scooping the players' player of the year at the end of the campaign. The winner of the award will be announced at a ceremony in Manchester on August 19.
