Emilio Butragueño has analysed the Club World Cup 2025 Group Stage draw held in Miami. The club's Director of Institutional Relations told Realmadrid TV: “We're hugely excited by the start of this competition and we want to try and win it. Whenever we're competing, we're focused on winning, regardless of the tournament. We want to feel that thrill of brining joy to our fans here in this country, and those who travel over from Europe. We hope we can make the final, and, if possible, lift the trophy."

"Pachuca is a Mexican club with great tradition and it won't be an easy game. We faced Al Hilal in the Club World Cup final and they're a club that has really grown and boast top quality players. They're bound to be dangerous. And we're set to play Salzburg in the Champions League in January as well."

“We have to be well aware it comes at the end of the season, but we have faith in this team. There are things we'll have to take into account. There will be players away with their national teams early in June, then we have to come over here with the different time zone. We'll have to consider that in order to prepare for this Club World Cup as well as possible, we're really excited."

The fans
“We come to the United States every summer and we feel the love of the fans in every stadium we play at. Of course, we'll be backed by thousands of fans, and that's an advantage but also a big responsibility for us."
