The 2011 FIFA Club World Cup final was the final match of the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup, an association football tournament hosted by Japan. It was the eighth final of the FIFA Club World Cup, a FIFA-organized tournament between the winners of the six continental confederations as well as the host nation's league champions.
The final was played between CONMEBOL's champion Santos and UEFA's champion Barcelona.[2][3][4] Barcelona defeated Santos 4–0 and won their second FIFA Club World Cup, two years after they won their first one in 2009.[5]
The match was billed as a showdown between Barcelona forward Lionel Messi and the 19-year-old Santos forward Neymar, who would later go on to become Messi's teammate at both Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.[6] Messi won the "duel" by scoring two goals in the final and being named man of the match as well as player of the tournament.[7][8]
