    Marrakech is not bad for a night out, I'm reliably told. So I'm sure Real Madrid's players and staff will find a half-decent bar to have a good old knees up later.

    And you can't argue that they don't deserve it. Los Blancos, who now enjoy a two-week break as the Spanish league takes a breather, have finished a marvellous 2014 in style. Four trophies won, plenty of goals scored, several records broken. Even the most ardent Barcelona fan would have to say that deserves a thumbs-up.

    We'll back for another European-flavoured live text commentary tomorrow as Spanish champions Atletico Madrid travel to Athletic Bilbao (20:00 GMT). Adios amigos!

  2. Stat attackpublished at 21:39 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    Opta Jose:, external Real Madrid have scored 178 goals in 2014 (all comps), more than any other La Liga side within a calendar year.

    Nope, no breakthrough for Roma - but Gervinho goes mighty close. The Ivorian is denied by the feet of Diego Lopez in added time and it ends goalless at the Stadio Olimpico. Roma head into the winter break three points behind league-leaders Juventus after failing to break down the ten-men of AC Milan.

    While the Real Madrid players and staff celebrate their latest success on the pitch in Marrakech, there is less fun on the pitch in Roma. It is a war of attrition as second-placed Roma go hell for leather in search of a late winner.

    And it was business as usual for Madrid. The routine win over South American champions was their 22nd straight victory. And it clinched their fourth piece of gleaming silverware in 2014.

  8. CHAMPAGNE MOMENTpublished at 21:23 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti turns to right to, rather formally, shake hands with club legend Fernando Hierro as the final whistle goes. It's only business.

    As if this result was ever in doubt. The referee blows his whistle for the final time and that means Real Madrid have won the the Club World Cup!

  10. INJURY TIMEpublished at 21:20 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    Two minutes of stoppage time. Two minutes of stoppage time until Real Madrid are crowned the world club champions.

    It's still goalless in Rome midway through the second half. But Milan are down to 10 men after defender Pablo Armero was booked for a deliberate handball - his second yellow card of the game. Roma have brought on top scorer Adem Ljajic to replace Alessandro Florenzi.

    Home skipper Juan Mercier has got the bit between his teeth now. After that earlier moments ago, he drives forward again and fancies his chances from about 20 yards. This time he doesn't trouble Iker Casillas and the ball skids wide.

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:16 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    Now San Lorenzo sting the palms of Madrid keeper Iker Casillas. Midfielder Juan Mercier unleashes a thunderous strike from 20 yards, which forces the Spain keeper into a sprawling save to his left. That would have set up an interesting final few minutes...

  14. FINAL FIVEpublished at 21:14 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    Credit to San Lorenzo though. They are a limited bunch - that's not meant to sound condescending, but they are a million miles away from Madrid - but they have put a real shift in to stop the European champions scoring more.

    Karim Benzema looks keen to grab himself a slice of the goalscoring pie tonight. He peels off to the left flank again, driving at the full-back, but can't find a white shirt with his cross.

  16. TEN TO GOpublished at 21:09 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    Now Madrid go forward. Karim Benzema sticks on the burners down the left, with Cristiano Ronaldo tagging along for the ride. But the Frenchman cannot pick out his pal and San Lorenzo scramble clear.

  17. Postpublished at 21:07 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    All pretty low-key over the last few minutes. Real are content to keep possession, knocking the ball around at a leisure pace, without really looking that interested in digging out a killer pass forward.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:05 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    Madrid make their second substitution of the night - and again it is a change at the back. Right-back Dani Carvajal, who is on a yellow card, trudges off for Alvaro Arbeloa.

  19. Postpublished at 21:03 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2014

    Another chance at the other end as Madrid threaten to bag a third. Gareth Bale swings in a cross from the right and Karim Benzema diverts it past the wrong side of the post.
