Meet the teams that will try and prevent Real Madrid from winning back to back Club World Cups

#2 Pachuca

Keisuke Honda signed for Pachuca last summer

To start dreaming of a potential final berth, Wydad first has to get past Pachuca. The Mexican club will be making its 4th appearance at the Club World Cup and their best finish was in 2008, when they ended up 4th after losing the 3rd place match to Japan's Gamba Osaka.

Pachuca won their 5th CONCACAF Champions League title back in April, their first since 2010, as they bettered Tigres UANL over two games, eventually running out 2-1 winners on aggregate.

Managed by Uruguayan Diego Alonso, the team features a host of internationals, among them Edson Puch, who won the Copa America Centenario with Chile last year and Keisuke Honda, who's one of the best Japanese players in history.

Honda signed for Pachuca in the summer after four seasons at AC Milan and It would be intriguing, to say the least, to see Honda and Pachuca meeting Urawa at one stage. Among active players, only Shinji Okazaki has scored more goals for Japan.

Pachuca also has some exciting young talent in the team, namely 22-year-old Erick Gutierrez who is captaining the side. The midfielder represented Mexico at the Summer Olympics in 2016 and also at the Gold Cup last summer.

Victor Guzman, who's also 22, was among the MX Liga top scorers this season with eight goals. He also played for Mexico in Rio.
