Real Madrid Edge Barcelona To Win Under-18 World Club Championships
Barca were denied another piece of silverware after their youth side were beaten by their fierce nemesis.
Real Madrid have disproved suggestions that their youth system is in shambles after they claimed the fifth edition of the U-18 World Club championships with a 2-1 victory over arch enemies, Barcelona in the final.
The Catalans dominated the match early on and went ahead through Sergio Roberto. But the Merengues fought back and equalised through Carvajal, before taking the lead through Sarabia all before the half-time whistle.
No further goals were scored after the break as Madrid’s Juvenil B side, coached by Juan Vicente Peinado, were crowned the sub-18 world club champions. They become the first Spanish side to win the accolade, after Boca Juniors and Sao Paulo had swept the previous four titles.
The tournament, which was held across the city of Madrid, included a number of other clubs around the world such as Atletico Madrid, Corinthians, Werder Bremen, Dynamo Kyiv, Beijing Guian, Real Salt Lake as well as Boca and Sao Paulo.
