Dec 12, 2017, 12:07 PM

Al Jazira, two-time champions of the Arabian Gulf League, face off against 33-time champions of Spain, 12-time champions of Europe and the reigning, defending champions of the world Real Madrid for the chance to contest the Fifa Club World Cup final. Can Henk ten Cate’s side pull off another shock and stop Real’s bid to become the first team to defend the trophy?

Meanwhile the Copa Libertadores winners Gremio will be in action for the first time as they face Mexican club Pachuca for the right to contest Saturday’s final.

Joining Steve Luckings in the studio are sports reporter John McAuley, who was at Zayed Sports City on Saturday to see Jazira book their place in the last four with a win over Urawa Red Diamonds, and sports editor Graham Caygill.
