FIFA Club World Cup 2025: Inter vs Urawa Reds live time, streaming
Inter Milan are set for a crucial showdown against Urawa Red Diamonds in the Club World Cup group stage this evening. After settling for a 1-1 draw in their opener against Monterrey, the Italian giants find themselves in a tricky position. The dropped points have added pressure to tonight's fixture, especially with River Plate already having secured a win over Urawa in their first match. With Monterrey and River Plate also facing off today, Inter cannot afford any more slip-ups if they hope to stay in contention for the knockout stages.

A poor result against Urawa would leave Inter's hopes hanging by a thread. However, a win would place them firmly back in control ahead of a decisive final group game against River Plate. Inter team news Alongside Thuram, Inter will also miss key midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu and sought-after defender Yann Bisseck. Piotr Zielinski is expected to make a comeback for the final group match against River Plate. Similarly, Dumfries may return, but Luis Henrique is likely to fill in on the wing in his absence. Urawa Reds team news Urawa will place significant trust in Ryoma Watanabe to make an impact upfront, having scored six goals in 18 games this season. Yusuke Matsuo, who became the first Japanese player to score in the Club World Cup since 2018, also poses a strong threat. On the other hand, Kai Shibato remains the only key player unavailable for the match. Inter vs Urawa Reds starting 11 (probable) Inter starting 11: Sommer; Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni; Zalewski, Barella, Asllani, Sucic, Dimarco; F. P. Esposito, Martinez.

France Star Continues Injury-Hit ‘2025 To Forget' With Inter Milan At FIFA Club World Cup
France Star Continues Injury-Hit '2025 To Forget' With Inter Milan At FIFA Club World Cup Marcus Thuram has continued his injury-hit '2025 to forget' with Inter Milan at the start of the Club World Cup. This is highlighted in today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Marcus Thuram had been one of Inter's outstanding players during the first half of the season. As the Gazzetta note, right up until the Supercoppa Italiana in January, Thuram had scored thirteen goals for the Nerazzurri. The Frenchman had seemingly shown that he can be the decisive player in attack for Inter. Even when Lautaro Martinez is either unavailable or not at his best. However, Thuram's form has dropped off dramatically in 2025. Marcus Thuram Continues '2025 To Forget' With Inter At Club World Cup MUNICH, GERMANY – APRIL 08: Marcus Thuram of FC Internazionale reacts during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Quarter Final First Leg match between FC Bayern München and FC Internazionale Milano at Fussball Arena Muenchen on April 08, 2025 in Munich, Germany. (Photo by) Injuries and physical issues have certainly had their role to play in Thuram's decline. There was a nagging ankle problem in February. Then, in April the 27-year-old suffered from some muscular fatigue as a result of Inter's intense Champions league tie against Bayern Munich. Advertisement The upshot of all of this is that Marcus Thuram simply hasn't looked at his best. There were decisive goals against the likes of Feyenoord and Bayern Munich in the Champions League. But these were the exception rather than the rule. In fact, the Gazzetta note, beyond those two European strikes, Thuram has scored just three times in 2025. Moreover, as Thuram's substitute appearance against Monterrey showed, there is a real lack of sharpness to the France international's play. It is hard to avoid the impression that Thuram is playing within himself due to his physical condition.

🎥 Juve hit 5, Conceição MVP, Yildiz stunner, dream debut 🤩
Juventus opened the Club World Cup with a masterful performance, defeating Al-Ain 5-0. Kolo Muani started the scoring with a header from Alberto Costa's assist at 11', with the Frenchman rising "to CR7's height. But at 21' it was already a double for what would later be the MVP, Francisco Conceição. Yıldız closed the discussion ten minutes later with the most beautiful goal of the evening, a 20-meter shot that kissed the inside post and ended up in the net. In the first half's injury time, there was room for the poker, again by Kolo Muani, perfectly picked out by Thuram. Only for the statistics, the fifth bianconero goal arrived at 58' from Conceição's feet. First double with Juventus for the former Porto player. 🥇 This Conceição must be kept Indeed, Conceição is perhaps the best news of the evening. The Portuguese player's brilliant performance was also highlighted by the numbers: 2 goals, 3 shots (2 on target), 2 great chances created, and an exceptional 93% passing accuracy (40 out of 43 completed). Moreover, 5 dribblings and 8 won duels and 2 fouls. Little to say, in short. And to think that a few weeks ago, his presence at the World Cup was in strong doubt, as is still his redemption by Juventus. Advertisement But beyond Conceição, Tudor's team seems to be able to take a significant booster of self-esteem from the match against Al-Ain. The bianconeri scored 4 goals in the first half for the first time since 2018, showing that offensive mentality that had been missing too many times in the recent past. 🎯 Signal to the big teams The clear victory against Al Ain not only launches Juventus to the top of Group G but also sends a clear message to all the opponents of the Club World Cup. The tactical organization, the variety of scorers, and the intensity in the duels highlighted a mature team ready to compete at the highest levels. Of course, the opponent was not top-notch, but we have recently seen with Inter that every match is not a given. At this point, it comes to mind that already in the next round with Manchester City, Tudor will play for the top of the group. Advertisement There, yes, there will be a more concrete answer about this Juventus. For now, however, in Turin, they are enjoying a depth of the squad that perhaps was not even considered. Tudor obtained convincing answers from both the starters and the substitutes, and this is probably the most notable point. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Inter Milan's packed schedule shows strains FIFA Club World Cup puts on teams
It's been just 18 days since Inter Milan played its last game, losing to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final. But a lot has happened since then. The team parted ways with manager Simone Inzaghi, who led it to two European finals in three seasons, and replaced him with Cristian Chivu. It temporarily lost the services of forward Mehdi Taremi, who had returned to his native Iran earlier this month and became stranded there when Israeli attacks closed the airspace over much of the Mideast. Then the rest of the second-best club in Europe traveled 6,000 miles from Milan to Los Angeles, where it opened the Club World Cup on Tuesday in a 1-1 draw with Mexican club Monterrey before an announced crowd of 40,311 at the Rose Bowl. 'We're trying to focus. And it's not easy every day, I'm not going to lie,' said forward Marcus Thuram, whose 18 goals in all competition was second on the team this season. 'But it's part of what we do, we love what we do and we'll continue doing what we do.' Only doing what they do has become far more complicated and exhausting in recent years as the competition schedule for both club and country has expanded. Thuram's father Lilian was widely regarded as one of the best defenders of his era during an 18-year career that saw him win two Serie A titles, a European championship and play in two World Cup finals, winning one. But he appeared in 46 or more club matches in a season just four times before retiring in 2008. His 27-year-old son has done that in each of the last two seasons. And if Inter makes it to the final of the Club World Cup, he'll wind up playing 55 games in 11 months. That doesn't count his 10 appearances for the French national team since last June. 'We were prepared for that at the beginning of the season. It's not like they announced that at the end of the season,' Thuram, who came off the bench early in the second half Tuesday, said of the Club World Cup. 'We knew it was going to be a long season.' But how long is too long? In their ravenous quest for revenue, soccer clubs, leagues and governing bodies have crowded the calendar with invented competitions that have drained both fans' bank accounts and players' energy levels. The Club World Cup is a perfect example. Although the tournament has been around since 2000, before this summer it never had more than eight teams and was held at one site during a 10-day break in the European season. This year it's expanded into a 32-team, month-long competition that will be played in 11 cities spread across a continent. If Inter Milan makes it to next month's final, its players will have just a couple of weeks off before reporting to training camp for the next Serie A season, which opens Aug. 23. With the World Cup also expanding next summer, national team players such as Thuram could play more than 70 games in 44 weeks and more than 120 games over two seasons. That's clearly unsustainable. 'A serious dialogue is needed between FIFA, UEFA, leagues, clubs and players to redesign an international calendar that protects the health of players and maintains the quality of games,' said Giuseppe Marotta, chairman and CEO of Inter Milan. 'With the introduction of the new Champions League format and the new Club World Cup, the workload on teams and players has clearly increased significantly.' Yet clubs such as Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain (which played 58 games this season) and Manchester City (57 games) are drawn to the extra competitions for the same reason as the organizers who put them on: the money. The Club World Cup, now the largest and most ambitious global club tournament in history, is also the most lucrative, with a prize-money purse of $1 billion. The winner could take home $125 million, more than PSG got for winning the Champions League. But it was forced into a gap in the schedule that really didn't exist before. 'It's undeniable that this event, positioned between two different seasons, is forcing us to do extra work and rethink what the traditional summer periods looks like for a football club,' Marotta said. 'However these competitions also represent a huge opportunity in terms of visibility and revenue, often exceeding that of traditional competitions.' The Club World Cup allows teams to face rivals from other continents, expanding their international following and generating additional revenue streams by planting the team's flag in new markets and introducing its players to new fans. 'The goal is to tell the American public who we are and what values have always guided us,' Marotta said. 'It's not about proving how good we are,' he added of the tournament. 'It's about contributing to the development of global football.' To accommodate it, Marotta said, changes will have to be made. For example Italy's Serie A could compact from 20 to 18 teams, the same as in the German Bundesliga and France's Ligue 1. That would mean four fewer league games per year; not a dramatic reduction, but a start. Until that happens, Thuram said the players will continue doing what they do for as long as they can do it. 'It's about doing everything every day to prepare your body for these extreme games and extreme competition. Because soccer at the highest level is extreme for the body. It's tough,' he said. 'But we have a lot of coaches, we have chefs, we have everything that is set up for us perfectly.' As for the game, Inter dominated statistically, controlling the ball for more than 55 of the 90 minutes and outshooting Monterrey 15-9. But they couldn't make that advantage count. All the scoring came in a 20-minute span of the first half with the ageless Sergio Ramos putting Monterrey in front with a header in the 25th minute and Lautaro Martinez pulling that back for Inter three minutes before the intermission.
