Real Madrid FC are having a season to remember. The all-conquering side in Spain and Europe have continued with their juggernaut in Morocco by winning the semi-final of the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup in style. In the final they will play the winners of the other semi-final match between Auckland City FC and San Lorenzo de Almargo. The final match is on Dec. 20th.
