Twitter erupts as Real Madrid win FIFA Club World Cup

A 53rd minute Cristiano Ronaldo free-kick won Real Madrid their second FIFA Club World Cup in a row and made them the first club to retain the cup. This triumph also marks Los Blancos' third Club World Cup win in four years.

Spanish giants Real Madrid faced Brazilian side Gremio in the 14th edition of the FIFA Club World Cup on Saturday. Despite the El Clasico being next week, Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane named a strong line-up for the match. The Frenchman got the reward for the risk he took as Ronaldo's sole goal won his team the game.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner found the back of the net by piercing his shot through the wall Gremio had set up for the free-kick, which they had conceded after fouling Ronaldo himself.

Twitter was on fire after the 12-time European champions won the Club World Cup. Here is how Twitter reacted:

Ouch! This must hurt...

#Gaucho : (Gremio Manager) “I was a better player then Cristiano”. The only thing Your better at is getting a better view then the fans of Cristiano scoring the winner and lifting the trophy big man.
