Champions League victories over Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal from the Premier League. Atlético Madrid beaten twice, in two different competitions. A record Champions League final margin of victory over Inter Milan.

The curtain comes down on the first edition of FIFA's expanded Club World Cup when reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain face Chelsea in Sunday's final.

The tournament is bankrolled by American and Middle Eastern investment; as is football globally. Where it goes from here is anyone's guess.
