Seven Crowns

The European champions and South American champions meet in the final, which is the scene that most media and fans all over the world want to see.

After all, the final is only worth seeing when the champions representing the two continents with the highest level of football meet in the final.

Although the champions of the Club World Cup in the past five years have all been European teams, and Real Madrid's strength on paper is much stronger than Corinthians, after all, Corinthians is a Brazilian giant, not a belly.

It is always much stronger and more interesting than teams like Al Ahli and Monterrey.

After the two teams in the final duel were formed, the enthusiasm for the Club World Cup final all over the world suddenly increased.

In addition to the title of world champion, keywords and names such as Real Madrid, Lu Wenbin, Ronaldo, and the six-time champion are also important reasons for attracting the attention of media and fans from all over the world.

The media from various countries reported on the semi-finals and previewed the finals, reminding fans to watch the live broadcast on time.

"In the just-concluded second semi-final of the Club World Cup, the Champions League champion Real Madrid swept the Central and North American champion Monterrey 5-1 and advanced to the final. They will compete with the South American Copa Libertadores champion Corinthians for this year's World Club Cup championship .”

"In 2012, Real Madrid had all the titles they could win, including the Champions League, the Copa del Rey, La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup and the UEFA Super Cup."

"If they win the Club World Cup again, Real Madrid will complete an unprecedented six-time crown in world football history."

"Six crowns, in an era when triple crowns are enough for the whole world to look up to, six crowns are simply daunting!"

"If Real Madrid really beats Corinthians to win the six crowns, then I can declare that this Real Madrid is the strongest Real Madrid in history, and the nickname Galacticos is even more worthy of its name!"

"In the semi-finals, Lu Wenbin has already staged a hat-trick. I wonder what Lu Wenbin will do in the final?"

"Can Corinthians end the European team's five consecutive Club World Cup championships? Everything will be in the final on December 16, so please watch on time, this station will bring you a live broadcast!"

In the midst of increasing attention, on the afternoon of December 16, Al Ahly and Monterrey played a third and fourth final.

After 90 minutes of fighting, Monterrey defeated Al Ahli 2-0 and won the third place in the 2012 Club World Cup. Al Ahly only finished fourth.

Then, in the evening, it was the turn of the title race between Real Madrid and Corinthians.

At 20:00 local time on December 16th, with the whistle of the referee, the 2012 World Club Cup final between Real Madrid and Corinthians officially kicked off at Yokohama National Stadium in Japan.

Real Madrid is still their 4231 formation, while Corinthians is playing a 442 midfield parallel position.

After the start of the game, Corinthians took the lead in attacking Real Madrid with the kick-off.

Although the level of South American football is good, the attention is not comparable to that of European football, which has gathered capital and is regarded as the center of world football.

The Club World Cup is actually a very rare opportunity for South American players.

Especially now that the opponent is Real Madrid, and there are superstars like Lu Wenbin and Ronaldo in the opponent team, as well as the gimmick of Real Madrid's six-time champion, etc., the attraction to the media and fans is quite high, and the attention is almost as high as that of previous World Cups. The most in the Club Cup final.

It is said that the final of the Club World Cup is being broadcast by TV stations in more than 100 countries around the world.

If they perform well in the Club World Cup final, even if they fail to win, they will definitely attract the attention of big-name European clubs, and they may get the opportunity to transfer to Europe and make a lot of money.

Therefore, Corinthians' frontcourt players played very proactively, wanting to strive for performance and goals.

Of course, the backcourt is not to be outdone, the defense is fierce and decisive, hoping to stop all Real Madrid's counterattacks.

However, the fierceness of the defense has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it can scare the opponent. For example, Di Maria flinched and was afraid after being shoveled by the opponent and almost injured.

But Lu Wenbin, who knew that he had zero tendency to get hurt, couldn't be scared.

Not only did he not back down, but he took the initiative to entangle with the opponent, intending to force the opponent to foul and win a free kick for himself.

In the 20th minute, the opportunity really came.

Lu Wenbin started to break through after receiving a pass from the winger Ronaldo near the center circle. After passing a midfielder, he was tackled by the opposing defender Xikang with the ball about 25 meters away from the goal at the front of the penalty area.

When Xikang tackled the ball, he didn't hold back his feet. In fact, he wanted to shovel Lu Wenbin off the field.

As a result, Lu Wenbin was not only not injured, but stepped on him when he fell down, and it was useless for him to complain to the referee.

Heikang was shown a yellow card and awarded a free kick to Real Madrid.

Lu Wenbin was fouled and won a free kick before, but he didn't score that time. This is one of the reasons why Xikang continued to foul with a fluke mentality.

As a result, although Lu Wenbin did not have systematic skills this time, he still kicked the ball directly into Corinthians' goal based on his free throw level.

The Real Madrid fans and Lu Wenbin fans at the scene and in front of the TV burst into warm applause and cheers.

Xikang, who committed a foul, was depressed to death.

Now, he not only received a yellow card, but also allowed Lu Wenbin to score a goal. This foul is really a loss.

Next, Xikang, who had received a yellow card, became more cautious. The other players were also afraid of Lu Wenbin's free kick skills, so they didn't dare to foul easily.

Real Madrid's offense went much smoother.

In the 36th minute, Real Madrid scored again.

This time it was Harvey Alonso who crossed Lu Wenbin and directly sent a long pass in the air to find Benzema. Benzema stopped the ball in the chest and hit Ronaldo horizontally. Ronaldo kicked near the corner of the penalty area. Long shot, pocket shot far corner succeeded.

Real Madrid lead Corinthians 2-0.

In the next ten minutes, the Corinthians, who wanted to make a name for themselves, attacked aggressively, trying to equalize the score.

But Real Madrid's defense is not paper, and Corinthians' players have poor shooting skills and bad luck. In the end, they failed to score a goal and the first half of the game came to an end.

After a 15-minute break, the second half officially began.

Corinthians continued their offense in the first half, and finally in the 58th minute, their midfielder Paulinho assisted forward Guerrero to score a goal and regained a point.

When a very small number of Corinthians fans were still cheering for the team, hoping that they would make persistent efforts and overtake the score, in the 62nd minute, Real Madrid expanded the score again.

Di Maria made a cross from the wing, and Lu Wenbin volleyed in the penalty area and pierced Corinthians' goal again.

Real Madrid 3-1 Corinthians.
