=== Barca crushes Santos to win Club World Cup ===
 
 Yokohama, Japan (Sports Network) - Lionel Messi scored twice to upstage Neymar
 as Barcelona crushed Santos, 4-0, on Sunday at Yokohama Stadium to capture its
 second FIFA Club World Cup in three years.
 
 Messi, the two-time reigning world player of the year, opened the scoring just
 over 15 minutes  into the match, and Xavi and Cesc Fabregas added goals before
 halftime as the Spanish champions made easy work of the Brazilian side.
 
 Argentina international  Messi added a second goal 8 minutes from time, as the
 European champions left Brazil without a title in the tournament since 2006.
 
 Santos' 19-year-old Brazilian sensation Neymar was held scoreless in the game,
 but it was more a result of an overall dominant performance from Barcelona.
 
 Qatari  club Al-Sadd won the third-place match Sunday, defeating Japanese side
 Kashiwa Reysol 5-3 on penalty kicks following a 0-0 draw.
