On 16 December 2017, Real Madrid were crowned world champions for the sixth time. Our team beat Brazil's Gremio 1-0 at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi on that day. In what was an evenly contested match, Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick was the difference between the two sides as we retained the trophy won in Japan a year earlier.

The Portuguese's forward's goal secured another trophy for Real Madrid. Modrić was presented with the Golden Ball for best player in the tournament. This victory capped off the most successful year in Real Madrid' s history in terms of trophies.

The semi-final
The Croatian dominated the midfield in the semi-final as our team edged out Al Jazira (1-2). Modrić set up Cristiano Ronaldo for Zidane' s side's opener and Bale's goal sealed their place in the final.
