Real Madrid's Club World Cup semifinal opponent named, Vinicius knows them well

The 14-time Champions League champions Real Madrid have found out their first FIFA Club World Cup opponent .

Clinching the third Copa Libertadores title in their history, Brazilian side Flamengo have qualified for the CWC semifinal stage and will challenge our crown.

Vinicius Junior knows them pretty well, as his professional career started there. It will be Vini's first boyhood club reunion since he left for Europe to chase his ambitions.

The venue and dates of the tournament remain unclear though. The shifted World Cup in Qatar has cluttered players' schedules to the point where the Club World Cup simply has nowhere to fit in.
