Cristiano Ronaldo inspires Real Madrid's win in Club World Cup final
Zinedine Zidane’s side struggled in the semi-final but managed a 2-1 win against Al Jazira. Goals came courtesy of Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale in the second half after that Romarinho had scored the opener after just 30 minutes of play.
Gremio are a very well organized club but they will be lacking of one of their most shining stars: Brazilian midfielder Arthur. The latter has been confirmed by Gremio’s president as a January transfer of both Real Madrid and Barcelona.
