A club will be named best in the world on Sunday, as Barcelona kicks off against River Plate in the Club World Cup final.
The reigning UEFA Champions League winner is the heavy favorite, especially since Leo Messi and Neymar both took part in training on Saturday. However, River Plate and striker Lucas Alario will give everything they’ve got at the International Yokohama Stadium.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will attempt to close the gap between themselves and Barcelona on the La Liga table with matchups against Rayl Vallecano and Malaga, respectively.
