July 8th, in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid defeated Dortmund 3-2 and will face Paris in the semi-finals. After the game, Rudiger was still scared: "The last five minutes were crazy. The mood was complicated because I thought I played very well in the first 30 minutes, and then we retreated a little deeper, giving Dortmund too much of the ball."

Fran Garcia said: "We are happy to enter the semi-finals, and the game ended a little crazy. We were a little off due to the penalty and the chaos in the last moment, but we focused on the positive side."

Arnold said: "How many games are this, the fifth one? Although it is still early stages, I think I have adapted well. This is different clubs, different styles of playing in such a game, and participating in such a game is different from playing in the league."

" But so far Everything went well. I got along well with my teammates, both on and off the court. Every game, every extra minute, I felt more comfortable. I wanted to keep improving and keep giving assists. "

"We started very well and scored two goals early to lay the foundation. We didn't give them any chance, defended the way we wanted, limiting their shots, and creating great opportunities. "

"We wanted to score another goal at the beginning of the second half of the game. We didn't do it, but we won the game, although the final stage was a bit confusing. All in all, the most important thing was to win, we did." "

Real Madrid will return to the Metropolitan Stadium on Wednesday to play the semi-finals with Paris.

Rudiger said: "Paris is a very, very difficult team, their form shows that they are one of the best teams in Europe, and it will be a tough game. But we are Real Madrid and we are ready for the challenge."

Arnold said: "I have played with Paris this season and they are excellent. Of course, it will be a tough game. We all enter the final four, and we all deserve this position."

"In the knockout round, anything can happen. We will work hard to recover and prepare for this tough game. Let's see who can win and who is the best team."

Fran Garcia said: "This is the first event, people always remember the first championship, the team is very focused, we are ready, and we will strive to win the championship."
