Real Madrid's La Liga match with Almeria has been pushed up to Friday.
The reason? Los Blancos will shortly depart for Morocco, where they'll enter the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup at the semi-final round.
The annual tournament kicked off on Wednesday with a play-in duel between Moroccan title holders Moghreb Tetouan and OFC Champions League winners Auckland City.
The New Zealand outfit prevailed on penalties, which means—rather appropriately—that the remainder of the competition will be contested between the six continental champions.
On Saturday afternoon, Auckland City will face Algeria's ES Setif. That evening, Mexico's Cruz Azul will go up against Australia's Western Sydney Wanderers.
The Auckland City-ES Setif winner will face San Lorenzo in the Marrakesh semi-final on Wednesday, and the team that comes out of the Cruz Azul-Western Sydney Wanderers quarter-final will square off against Real Madrid in Rabat on Tuesday.
Marrakesh will host the final on Saturday, December 20.
The six remaining sides in the Club World Cup are power-ranked in the following slideshow.
