    FT: Real Madrid 5-3 Al-Hilal

    Thanks very much for joining us this evening. Until next time!

  2. FT: Real Madrid 5-3 Al-Hilal

    Kudos to Al-Hilal, who trailed 2-0 after 18 minutes in the Moroccan capital but just didn't know when they were beaten.

    They more than played their part in a terrific contest.

  4. FULL-TIME

    Real Madrid 5-3 Al-Hilal

    All over!

    Real edge an eight-goal thriller to win the Fifa Club World Cup.

  5. 90+5 mins

    Al-Hilal clear the danger but that, surely, is that.

  6. Real Madrid 5-3 Al-Hilal

    Al-Hilal have put up a monumental fight but Real are moments away from winning their fifth Club World Cup title in nine years.

    They win another corner. Will they go for number seven?

  7. Real Madrid 5-3 Al-Hilal

    Nasser Al-Dawsari goes close to grabbing a fourth for Al-Hilal but his free-kick fails to trouble Andriy Lunin.

    Rodrygo then sends a low shot wide of the target from inside the box. No chance of either of these teams shutting up shop as we enter second-half stoppage time.

  8. SUBSTITUTION

    Real Madrid 5-3 Al-Hilal

    Abdullah Al Hamdan and Odion Ighalo are on for the final few minutes.

    Al-Hilal goalscorers Luciano Vietto and Moussa Marega make way.

  9. Real Madrid 5-3 Al-Hilal

    This game has been bonkers.

    Five minutes to play (plus added time).

  10. Real Madrid 5-3 Al-Hilal

    Amid all the excitement, Real have made another substitution.

    Jesús Vallejo is on for Daniel Carvajal.

  11. Real Madrid 5-3 Al-Hilal

    Al-Hilal are throwing caution to the wind now.

    First Luciano Vietto has another shot blocked from close range, before Moussa Marega drags wide.

  12. goal

    GOAL - Real Madrid 5-3 Al-Hilal

    Luciano Vietto

    Anything Valverde and Vinicius can do...

    Luciano Vietto has HIS second. Substitute Michael is heavily involved, pulling the ball back for the Argentine who swivels on the spot before slotting home.

    Ten minutes left. Any chance of a late comeback?

  13. Real Madrid 5-2 Al-Hilal

    Two half-chances in quick succession for Real, but Rodrygo and Federico Valverde are both denied by Abdullah Al-Mayouf.

  14. SUBSTITUTION

    Real Madrid 5-2 Al-Hilal

    Al-Hilal follow suit with a double change of their own.

    Andre Carillo and Salem Al-Dawsari trudge off; Michael and Nasser Al-Dawsari enter the fray.

  15. SUBSTITUTION

    Real Madrid 5-2 Al-Hilal

    Madrid make another double change as Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are replaced by Nacho and Marco Asensio.

    The veteran midfielders are given a standing ovation as they make their way off the pitch.

  16. Real Madrid 5-2 Al-Hilal

    Almost a hat-trick for Vinicius Jr but the 22-year-old is denied by Abdullah Al-Mayouf.

    Real are threatening to run riot.

  17. goal

    GOAL - Real Madrid 5-2 Al-Hilal

    Vinicius Jr

    Perhaps not.

    Dani Ceballos' pass is converted from close range by Vinicius Jr for the Brazil international's second of the game.

    What a game!

  18. Hope for Al-Hilal?

  19. goal

    GOAL - Real Madrid 4-2 Al-Hilal

    Luciano Vietto

    Now then. They couldn't, could they?

    Al-Hilal have a goal back as Luciano Vietto finds the bottom corner with a right-footed effort from Saud Abdulhamid's through-ball.

  20. SUBSTITUTION

    Real Madrid 4-1 Al-Hilal

    Dani Ceballos comes on for Tchouameni.

    Karim Benzema's evening is also over. The striker is replaced by Rodrygo, who scored in the semi-final win over Al Ahly.
