MARRAKECH: Real Madrid defeated San Lorenzo of Argentina 2-0 yesterday to win the Club World Cup and secure their fourth trophy of 2014. Real added the year-ending trophy to the Champions League, Copa del Rey and European Super Cup titles they had already secured in 2014. They will also end the year on top of La Liga too. The triumph was their 22nd consecutive win in all competitions, and they now have in their sights the mark of 26 straight wins achieved by Johan Cruyff’s Ajax side in 1971-72. AFP
