Real Madrid was once again master and lord
The only goal was scored by Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo who also became the tournament's top scorer with seven goals, beating Lionel Messi, César Delgado and Luis Suárez.
Real Madrid retained the FIFA Club World Cup title yesterday by defeating Gremio of Brazil 1-0 in Abu Dhabi, and reached Barcelona as the historic winner of the competition with three editions each.
The Spanish team, also 2014 champion in Marrakech and 2016 in Yokohama, won with a free kick from the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo eight minutes into the second half.
The Luso was consecrated in this edition as the top scorer in the Club World Cup with seven goals in eight games, postponing the Argentines Lionel Messi, César Delgado and the Uruguayan Luis Suárez, who have five celebrations.
Real Madrid expanded its dominance as the maximum champion of international competitions with 24 titles, broken down as follows: three Club World Cups; three Intercontinental Cups (1960, 1998, 2002); twelve Leagues of European Champions (1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1966, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2014, 2016, 2017); two European League (1985, 1986) and four European Super Cups (2002, 2014, 2016, 2017).
In addition, it accentuated the trend of the reign of European teams over the rest of the world, because since the competition was regularized in 2005 only three Brazilians could win it: San Pablo that year on Liverpool in England, Inter de Porto Alegre against Barcelona and Corinthians against Chelsea of England.
Apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona (2005, 2011 and 2015), they were also champions of the Milan World Cup in Italy in 2007 (against Boca Juniors), Manchester United in 2008, Inter of Italy in 2010 and Bayern Munich (2013).
Gremio, which today had the Argentinean Walter Kannemann among its holders, lost the chance to be world champion for the second time after the title reached in 1983 against Hamburg of Germany when the Intercontinental Cup was in force.
Pachuca, third
On the other hand, Mexico's Pachuca thrashed Al-Jazeera 4-1 in the United Arab Emirates and won the bronze medal at the World Cup of football clubs, which takes place in the city of Abu Dhabi.
The Cordoba Franco Jara was the author of the second goal of Pachuca, led by the Uruguayan Diego Alonso and where also plays the German Germain Denis.
Jonathan Urretavizcaya opened the scoring for the Mexican team at 37 minutes, with assistance from Jara. Kalphan Mubarak partially matched for Al Jazira at 12 of the second half. The goal of the Argentine -ex Arsenal, San Lorenzo and Estudiantes- reached the 15 of the complement, where they later became Roberto de la Rosa and Angelo Sagal (criminal).
"This is the best way to finish such an important championship and it is new for most of us, we want to enjoy this moment, we played well and finished third, we were left with a bitter taste in the semifinal with Gremio, but it is important to be among the three first, "said Jara, 29, in the official broadcast.
