ATLANTE 1 - FC BARCELONA 3: STRAIGHT INTO THE "WORLD CLUBS CHAMPIONS " FINAL

ATLANTE of Mexico has been defeated by Spanish & European
Champions FC BARCELONA 1-3 in the “World Clubs Championships”
being held in Abu Dhabi.This win puts Barça directly into the Sunday
Final were they will be meeting "Estudiantes de La Plata" from
Argentina for the “Best Club In The World” title for 2009.

The Mexicans started great by taking advantage of a Barça defensive
mistake in the 4th min to see ROJAS put his team ahead. From
here Barça shook the sleep off & went into gears to see them
retake control gradually with midfielder BUSQUETS equalizing in
the 35th min.

However, Coach Guardiola wanted Barça to “kill off” & secure this
match & decided to bring on LIONEL MESSI in the second half. In his
very first touch in the 55th min, Messi scored from an Ibrahimovic
pass that set the course for the rest of the game. Watch the Messi

From this point it was Barça who dominated to have PEDRO score
his teams third goal in the 66th min. It could have been more for the
Spaniards, but they didn´t maximize their many opportunities.

Good win for Barça who now have the chance to get their sixth
straight mayor title which would be a true Football record. Tweet
