The FIFA Club World Cup final between Real Madrid and Kashima Antlers was thrilling. The Japan champions were leading 2-1 after 52 minutes but the Spanish side came from behind thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo’s hat-trick to clinch the title after the extra-time (4-2).
The 31-year-old forward, recently named Ballon d’Or 2016, has equalized with a penalty on the hour mark. During the extra-time, the Real Madrid star gave the lead to his team after 98 minutes. Then, the Portuguese ace scored his third goal of the game with a close-range effort after 104 minutes.
