The game finished in Marrakech and although the Madrid players congratulated each other on achieving their new title, there was no euphoria or gestures that they had just won a grand title. It was too easy. Mourinho said the Club World Cup had been reduced to two small games, and although at the time he said it to perhaps lessen the achievement of Barça, the truth is also now seen from the perspective of the current European champions. The big merit is to win the Champions League and after that the European Super Cup has a lesser difficulty, relatively, and the Club World Cup even more so. Although the European sides have lost in it before, it is not normal.
There is much imbalance in football and many more things between Europe and elsewhere. And every year there is more. The rich are becoming richer and globalisation has accentuated that. Not only in football, do not blame football when it is not the cause. Since winning the Copa Libertadores, San Lorenzo sold its stars. Correa, to Atlético, who has gone on loan to Rayo, and Piatti, to Montreal. Since winning the Champions League, Madrid signed James and Kroos, star figures in the World Cup, Keylor and Chicharito, who are used as back-ups. They have won the Club World Cup but they will not take it to Cibeles.
But we do not see this only from Europe. In other continents we see it in another form. For Auckland it was a great achievement, for San Lorenzo, an illusion, for the others, a hope. This cup pits the champions of all the confederations together. An excess to us but not so much for others. That’s right: we must refine it. In the organisation of Morocco there have been visible failures that have cost the Minister of Sports his job. FIFA has to be more on top of things because oversights were made in the lacklustre tournament. Luckily, the Moroccan people responded with enthusiasm.
