The Intercontinental Cup is a competition that was created to replace the Club World Cup, which was expanded after the six continents' champions and the host country's winning teams participated. It was newly held this year by adopting the existing Club World Cup method. Real Madrid won the 2023-2024 European Champions League and entered the tournament as a "European champion" and went straight to the final without participating in the lower round. Starting from the second round, Pachuca defeated Al Ahli of Egypt to advance to the final.

Real Madrid scored the first goal in the 37th minute of the first half when Kylian Mbappe pushed the ball that Vinicius Junior gave away after beating the goalkeeper. In the 8th minute of the second half, Hodrigo scored an additional goal with a right footed shot from the front of the penalty arc. Vinicius Junior, who helped the first goal, calmly finished the penalty kick in the 39th minute of the second half to seal the victory. Vinicius Junior scored one goal and one assist on the day, becoming the star of the Golden Ball given to the tournament's most valuable player. 먹튀검증
