Is Jobe Bellingham playing against his brother Jude and Real Madrid Today on FIFA Club World cup 2025?
Real Madrid is set to face Borussia Dortmund in an exciting showdown during the quarterfinals of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. The victor will face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final.
In its journey to the quarterfinals, Xabi Alonso’s Madrid finished at the top of Group H with two victories and a draw, then easily overcame Juventus in the round of 16. In the meantime, Dortmund overcame Mexican team Monterrey to advance to the quarterfinals.
The chance of the Bellingham brothers, Jude and Jobe, facing off for Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund was thwarted by the latter’s unavailability. Let’s examine why Jobe Bellingham cannot compete with his brother Jude in this encounter of well-known European rivals.
Why is Jobe Bellingham not playing in the match against Real Madrid?
Jobe Bellingham received a yellow card in the 28th minute during Borussia Dortmund’s 2-1 victory against Monterrey in the Round of 16, leading to his suspension for the quarterfinal match against Real Madrid because of yellow card accumulation.

The booking was his second in consecutive matches, as he was also cautioned in — strangely — the 28th minute of Dortmund’s 1-0 victory against Ulsan HD in their last group stage game.
Jobe would therefore be able to play in the semifinal match if Borussia Dortmund advances by defeating Real Madrid.
Receiving two yellow cards in the tournament results in a player being suspended for the match following their second warning. Suspensions from accumulating yellow cards are canceled starting from the semifinal, ensuring that no player can be suspended for the final based on accumulation.
Have Jobe and Jude Bellingham faced off against one another?
The Bellingham siblings have yet to face each other professionally, making the Real Madrid vs. Borussia match poised to create a moment in family history.
Considering that Madrid and Dortmund have faced each other regularly in Europe in recent years, it is very likely that the two teams will be paired during next season’s Champions League, providing another chance for them to compete.
