Real Madrid defeated China's Guangzhou Hengda and Argentina's River Plate in Japan, winning both matches 3–0 and successfully defending their FIFA Club World Cup title. They had accomplished the remarkable feat of winning the Grand Slam in two consecutive seasons!
This was the first time in the history of world football!
Media and fans around the world showered them with praise, giving Real Madrid's performance extremely high marks. In particular, the dominance Real Madrid displayed against River Plate had given their Argentine opponents virtually no chance at all.
Even Argentina's Olé stated that the FIFA Club World Cup final had been an asymmetric battle between two teams from completely different levels. River Plate had been thoroughly convinced by their defeat, while Real Madrid truly were the strongest team in the world at present.
"Yang Yang was like a God of War descending from the heavens, sweeping through the entire FIFA Club World Cup. He let fans around the world see clearly what the world's top player was capable of. He completely dismantled River Plate's carefully arranged defense, and he did it without even breaking a sweat."
The Spanish media also praised Real Madrid for winning the FIFA Club World Cup again. Yang Yang had scored five goals in two matches, and it could be said that he had single-handedly led Real Madrid onto the podium. "He has once again proved that he is Real Madrid's key man!"
Meanwhile, calls to arrange Yang Yang's contract renewal as soon as possible were growing louder among the Spanish media. Even many Real Madrid fans had begun to recognize the problem, calling on the club to renew Yang Yang's contract quickly and keep their star player.
After hurriedly arriving in Japan and completing the FIFA Club World Cup, Real Madrid hurried back to Madrid.
