Three quick thoughts after Real Madrid won the 2016 Club World Cup by beating Kashima Antlers 4-2 in extra time at the International Stadium Yokohama on Sunday.
1. Madrid crowned world champions
Cristiano Ronaldo scored another hat trick as Real Madrid came from behind to beat Japan's Kashima Antlers 4-2 in a much more exciting than was expected Club World Cup 2016 final. For a long time it looked like Ronaldo and his galactico colleagues were going to embarrassed -- as the rank outsiders Kashima matched their more illustrious opponents impressively.
Ronaldo's second-half penalty took the game to extra time, where the Portuguese was then able to take the glory by completing a first ever hat trick in this format of the Club World Cup.
