Real Madrid Win Record Fifth Club World Cup.

Real Madrid lifted the Club World Cup for a record fifth time with a pulsating 5-3 win over Al Hilal Saturday in Morocco.

 Vinicius Junior and Fede Valverde each scored twice, while Karim Benzema, returning from injury, also scored in Madrid's spectacular win over Saudi opponents. 

 

 Carlo Ancelotti's team, who qualified as Champions League winners last season, had too many attacking qualities to deal with the opposition. 

 

 Madrid secured their second title of the season with a decisive triumph at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat after lifting the European Super Cup in August. It was also a welcome respite from a La Liga season in which they are eight points behind rivals Barcelona, ​​who also beat them in the Spanish Super Cup final in January.

 

 Real also won three Intercontinental Cups in 1960, 1998 and 2002 - a match between the European and South American champions that was merged with the 2005 FIFA Club World Cup. We had to do that," said Ancelotti on Telecinco 

 

. "We're happy, it was a good game, we had a lot of quality up front. 

 

 "I think we were good up front, Vinicius, Karim, Valverde scored two goals, the better team had mobility and quality

Ancelotti brought Benzema back into the starting XI after missing the semi-final win over Al Ahly with a hamstring injury and Rodrygo Goes was relegated to the substitutes' bench. 

 

 The 35-year-old forward set up Vinicius' opening goal with a short pass that put the Brazilian winger through on goal. 

 

 After a frustrating spell in Spain due to racial slurs in the stands and attacks from opponents on the pitch, Vinicius enjoyed himself in Morocco, scoring in both Real Madrid games and being named player of the tournament
