Luiz Felipe Scolari was quick to stress Guangzhou Evergrande outperformed Real Madrid against Barcelona at the Club World Cup.
Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao coach Luiz Felipe Scolari feels his side should be proud of its performance against Barcelona irrespective of its 3-0 defeat, stressing the side still did better than Real Madrid last month.
Barca cruised past its fierce rival in the Clasico on November 21 with a 4-0 victory, inspired by a double from Uruguay international Luis Suarez.
He was in fine form again in Japan as he opened the scoring in the opening 45 minutes, before netting two more after the break to complete his hat trick and send the Catalans through to the final of the Club World Cup.
