Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick as
Real Madrid beats Japan’s Kashima Antlers
4-2 to win the Club World Cup on Sunday.
A Gaku Shibasaki double threatened Real Madrid after Karim Benzema had given Real an
early lead in Yokohama.
But Ronaldo equalised from the penalty
spot before pouncing twice in extra time to give the Spanish giants
their second world title in three years and fifth in total.
“Bloody hell, what a game!” said a
breathless Ronaldo. “We had to suffer, but that’s what finals are about.
It’s a trophy we really wanted to win and we end the year in the best
way possible so I’m very happy.”
The victory as maintained Real Madrid’s club-record
unbeaten run to 37 matches in all competitions.
