Real Madrid vs. Pachuca live score: Intercontinental Cup final result, updates, stats, lineups with Mbappe, Rodrygo and Vinicius all on target
Two years to the day since Mbappe's hat-trick for France in the 2022 World Cup final ultimately led to Argentina and Lionel Messi claiming glory on penalties, the superstar forward was back in Qatar to net a 37th-minute opener in this re-imagined competition.
The Intercontinental Cup of old pitted Europeans against South American champions but Pachuca put paid to that throwback when they knocked out Copa Libertadores winners Botafogo last week.

Buildings flattened as a 7.3 magnitude earthquake hit Vanuatu.
There are unconfirmed reports of deaths but the full extent of the damage remains unclear, as power and mobile networks across the country remain cut off.
