Ryan RudnanskyAug 5, 2013

Real Madrid soared to a 2-1 victory over Everton on Saturday in the 2013 International Champions Cup, setting up a showdown with Chelsea in the final.

It was a formidable showing by Madrid, as the club posted 12 shots (five shots on goal) during the match, compared to seven shots (two shots on goal) for Everton, according to ESPN FC.

A few familiar faces were dangerous on the pitch for Madrid during Saturday's match. Here's a look at the Real Madrid players to watch in the final.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo was splendid against Everton, posting a goal and an assist in the 2-1 victory.

Ronaldo posted 30 goals and four assists in 34 games (30 starts) for Los Blancos in La Liga last season. He also registered 12 goals and one assist in 12 starts in the Champions League.

In two starts so far in the Champions Cup, the 28-year-old star has posted one goal and two assists.

As one of the premier players in the world, expectations are always high for Ronaldo. More often than not, he meets those expectations. Last season, "CR7" was ranked third among all players in La Liga, the Premier League, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and Serie A by WhoScored.

Mesut Ozil 

Mesut Ozil earned man-of-the-match honors in Saturday's game against Everton, proving to form a dangerous duo with Ronaldo. The 24-year-old midfielder registered one goal and one assist in the contest. 

Ozil posted nine goals and 13 assists for Madrid last season in La Liga. He notched one goal and four assists in 10 games (eight starts) in the Champions League.

Known for his ball control, vision, creativity and powerful shot, Ozil is always a threat on the pitch.

Luka Modric

Luka Modric hasn't been spectacular in the Champions Cup this year, but he has been his usual, solid self. 

In the 2-1 victory over Everton, his well-placed ball over the top set up Madrid's second goal. Against the Los Angeles Galaxy in the club's first match, Modric constantly presented pressure alongside Isco.

Modric's professional and accurate passing has been on full display throughout the Champions Cup, and you can bet the 27-year-old midfielder will be a handful for Chelsea in the final. He won't usually show up in the goals or assists column, but he generally lends a big hand in setting up scoring opportunities for Los Blancos.
