Real Madrid have won the Club World Cup for a record-extending fifth time after thrashing Al-Hilal 5-3 in Morocco - and prevented the Saudi-Arabian outfit from banking a bumper six-figure bonus payout in the process.
Carlo Ancelotti's side, the reigning European champions, raced into a two goal lead courtesy of strikes from Vinicius Junior and Fede Valverde before Moussa Marega fired Al-Hilal back into the contest.
Karim Benzema restored Los Blancos' two-goal cushion before Valverde bagged his second goal of the evening on the hour mark. Luciano Vietto struck back for Al-Hilal, but Vinicius Junior killed off any hopes of a comeback with his second strike of the evening to seal the win for the LaLiga giants. Vietto did net again to set up a nervy finish, but Real stood firm.
