Barcelona have won their third FIFA World Cup,
after a comprehensive defeat of Club Atletico
River Plate, from Argentina. Scoreline: Barcelona
3, River Plate nil.
A brace from Luis Suarez and a Lionel Messi
strike against River Plate in Yokohama were all
the Spanish giants needed to overwhelm their
opponents and lift their third crown.
And they would have even scored more except
that the trio of Suarez, Messi and Neymar
squandered many chances.
Messi who missed the club's first match in
Japan, struck in 36th minute, with Suarez who
recorded a hat-trick in the semi-final, increasing
the tally in the 49th and 68th minute.
In the match played earlier, Sanfrecce Hiroshima
had claimed the bronze, beating Luis Felipe
Scolaris Guangzhou Evergrande, 2-1.
