Real Madrid had Cristiano Ronaldo to thank once more as they beat Gr\u00eamio 1-0 to win the FIFA Club World Cup for a third time, matching Barcelona’s record \u2013 and took their tally of intercontinental titles to six.<\/p>\n

\n
The European champions started aggressively, Cristiano Ronaldo and Dani Carvajal both having decent chances. Their Brazilian opponents defended diligently, eager to catch Real Madrid on the break, while Luka Modri\u0107 and Isco tried to find spaces between the Gr\u00eamio lines.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Pressure eventually told in the second half, though it took a free-kick for Ronaldo to open the scoring in the 53rd minute. However, Madrid never looked like slipping up, dominating possession for the remainder of the game, and creating more chances, Modri\u0107 notably hitting one against the post.<\/p>\n

The success brings Zin\u00e9dine Zidane’s side a fifth trophy for the year following their triumps in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, Spanish Liga and Spanish Super Cup.<\/p>\n

How they lined up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keylor Navas; Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal; Kroos, Casemiro, Modri\u0107; Ronaldo, Benzema (Bale 80), Isco (V\u00e1zquez 73)<\/p>\n

Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid forward<\/strong>
\nAmazing. It was a trophy we wanted to win. Madrid have never won five trophies in the same year \u2013 Zidane told us that and it really motivated us. My numbers speak for themselves<\/a>. I’m very happy. I do my talking on the pitch and I’ve helped the team to another title win today.<\/div>\n

Rapha\u00ebl Varane Real Madrid defender<\/strong>
\nThe team worked very hard\u00a0\u2013 we’re thrilled. It’s been a fantastic 2017 and we have to congratulate everyone. Winning five titles is not easy; we know how difficult it is to win these finals. We will keep fighting to win more trophies.<\/p>\n
