Barcelona left it late before claiming their sixth title of the year, beating Argentina’s Estudiantes 2-1 after extra time to clinch the Club World Cup here on Saturday.
Mauro Boselli had put Estudiantes ahead after 37 minutes only for Barca striker Pedro to grab the equaliser in the dying minutes of the game, with Argentina striker Lionel Messi nailing victory after 110 minutes.
The Spanish giants end the year on a high after following up last season’s league, Champions League and Cup treble with their first title in this competition.
