Yokohama , December 20 : What a year it was for Barcelona. After winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey, the UEFA Super Cup and the Champions League, the Catalan giants added their fifth trophy of the season on Sunday, beating River Plate 3-0 in the Club World Cup final. It was a dominant performance from Barca, and the scoreline could have been worse.
The team possessed the ball for much of the match, had little to deal with in attack and scored some pretty nice goals. Messi opened the scoring just over a half an hour in after this fantastic sequence. Then a delightful ball from Sergio Busquets sent Luis Suarez through for the second. Suarez was at it again for the third. Though talented, River was just over matched. But in 2015, that’s been the case for most teams facing Barcelona.What a magical season, with the only trophy dropped being the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic Bilbao.
Barcelona also won the Fair Play Trophy . Surez was adjudged the most valuable player of the tournament besides winning the Golden ball was won . Messi won the Silver ball and captain Iniesta won the Bronze ball .
