adminYOKOHAMA. — Barcelona contest the Club World Cup in Japan boasting arguably the most devastating strike-force the game has seen and as red-hot favourites to lift the trophy for a third time.
Barring any shocks, Argentina’s River Plate will await the European champions in the final in Yokohama on December 20.
But “Los Millonarios” face an almost impossible task in stopping Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez, who have plundered a jaw-dropping 126 goals for Barca in 2015 — more than Spanish rivals Real Madrid.
River touched down in Japan on Tuesday following a 30-hour journey after thousands of fans had lined the streets to see them off in Buenos Aires.
“It was unique,” said midfielder Carlos Sanchez. — AFP.
