Club World Cup Final: Barcelona Vs Estudiantes, The stakes could barely be higher for the FIFA Club World Cup 2009 final between Estudiantes and Barcelona, with the Catalan giants determined to claim their sixth piece of silverware in 12 months and the Argentinian heavyweights aiming to build on their remarkable Copa Libertadores success.
Tonight’s Fifa Club World Cup final is very much a mouth-watering clash between the champion club of Europe and the champion club of South America. While the Zayed Sports City Stadium is already sold out and the majority of fans are likely to support Barcelona, the noise from the nearly 5,000 strong visiting fans from Argentina can turn this final into a dual competition — one on the pitch and one in the galleries — the latter being a whole new experience for local spectators.
Having won five trophies this year, Barcelona are eyeing an unprecedented sixth tonight and if that alone is not history, add to that the fact that the Club World Cup is the only title they have never won in over 100 years.
