Spain's Real Madrid won the Club World Cup for a third consecutive year, and record fourth in total, by beating Abu Dhabi side Al Ain in the final 4 - 1.
Luka Modric curled home the opening goal from the edge of the area after Karim Benzema's lay-off.
Marcos Llorente hit a stunning 25-yard half-volley - his first professional goal - and Sergio Ramos headed in the third from Modric's corner.
Tsukasa Shiotani nodded in for Al Ain before Yahya Nader's own goal.
According to BBC, Real could have won by more. Lucas Vazquez hit the post early on and Gareth Bale - who scored a semi-final hat-trick against Kashima Antlers - went close with a spectacular bicycle kick which went just over the bar.
