Club World Cup Final/Internacional - 1 Barcelona - 0:Substitute Adriano fired an 82nd-minute winner as Brazil's Internacional beat Barcelona 1-0 to win the Club World Cup in a smash-and-grab raid yesterday.
Barcelona had dominated in front of 67,000 in Yokohama until Adriano latched on to Iarley's clever ball to beat Victor Valdes with the deftest of flicks.
"I said yesterday that we didn't need to fear Barcelona," Inter coach Abel Braga said, before revealing a unique motivational method.
"We shut the players in a room for 15 minutes yesterday to get their spirits up for this game. The only thing that would give me more joy would be to win this again next year - or to become coach of the Brazil national team and win the World Cup."
Adriano's strike was a bolt from the blue and stunned Barcelona into action. Deco forced a superb save from Inter goalkeeper Clemer moments later and Ronaldinho shaved the post with a free-kick from 25 metres in the 85th minute as Barca tried in vain to respond.
