Real Madrid yesterday,dominated the final of the club World cup with Sergio Ramos,who opened the scoring after 37 minutes when he rose above the San Lorenzo defence to send a thumping header past goalkeeper Sebastian Torrico,and Bale who made it 2-0 six minutes into the second half when he collected a pass from Isco and fired the ball straight at Torrico.
At the other end, Karim Benzema went close to a third Real goal but his touch went wide of the post,while World best Cristiano Ronaldo had a quiet night and failed to get on the end of a Benzema cross in the 80th minute.
In the last minute, San Lorenzo's Juan Mercier unleashed a powerful, long distance drive which was saved by a diving Casillas.
Real have added another trophy to the Champions League, Copa del Rey and European Super Cup titles they had already secured in 2014(they may also end the year on top of La Liga table).
Saturday's triumph was also their 22nd consecutive win in all competitions, and they now have in their sights the mark of 26 straight wins achieved by Johan Cruyff's Ajax side in 1971-72.
Excited Real Madrid coach, Ancelotti's post match speech :
"We deserved to win the title -- we can say that Real Madrid are the best team in the world,"
"We have done really well this year, it's been unforgettable. We are a team and a family."
"We'd
be happy with a repeat. We'll continue forward like this in all
competitions and will face the new year with excitement and enthusiasm."
San Lorenzo coach, Edgardo Bauza's post match speech :
"Madrid won fairly,but for us it was an honour to have finished the year playing in the final of the World Cup.
We are very proud despite the grief of losing,"
"It's been a wonderful year for the club and for the fans -- we won the Copa Libertadores."
And finally you would never have guessed Gareth Bales' most wonderful Christmas present.....
