Meet the teams that will try and prevent Real Madrid from winning back to back Club World Cups

#5 Auckland City

Auckland City is participating at the FIFA Club World Cup for the 9th time

Auckland, who meet Al-Jazira in the first match of the tournament on December 6 to decide the last quarter-finalist, is by far the most experienced side in the competition. They are a dominant force in Oceania and this will be their ninth time participating in the Club World Cup.

The side from New Zeland has won the OFC Champions League seven times in a row and they beat local rivals Wellington in the 2017 final 5-0 on aggregate. Ryan De Vries and former Portugal U21 international Joao Moreira both scored two goals, though, the latter has since then left the club.

De Vries is a 26-year-old forward, who has one cap for the New Zealand international team to his name. He's the team's second highest scorer this season with eight goals in five appearances, however, it's 29-year old Argentine Emiliano Tade is leading the scoring charts for the 2nd consecutive year with 10 goals in seven games.

Tade has played in New Zealand since 2009 and he was also part of the Auckland side that finished 3rd at the Club World Cup in 2014. They beat Mexico's Cruz Azul on penalties and as it stands to this day, it remains as Auckland's most successful Club World Cup tournament.

45-year-old Spaniard Ramon Tribulietx is the manager, he's been at the club since 2008, first as an assistant and since 2010 as manager. He was in charge for all of the seven consecutive OFC Champions League successes and the 3rd place finish three years ago at the Club World Cup is one of the greatest achievements in his career, alongside a bronze-medal finish with the Canadian women's team at the 2012 Olympics.
