Los Blancos won in an entertaining clash in Rabat against the Saudi outfit

Real Madrid won the Club World Cup for a fifth time, a record, with a goal-filled game against Al-Hilal.

Los Blancos let in three silly goals against the Saudi Arabian outfit but triumphed as Vinicius Junior and Fede Valverde hit two each, while Karim Benzema was also on target.

The match was an entertaining affair in Rabat, Morocco, but the Saudi side never truly looked like winning.

Los Blancos started with Karim Benzema up front, back from injury.

He set up Vinicius for the opening goal and Fede Valverde fired home the second.

Ex Porto hitman Moussa Marega pulled one back but further goals from Benzema, Vinicius and Valverde saw Madrid through - even as former Atletico Madrid man Luciano Vietto also nabbed a brace in the eight-goal thriller.
