Lionel Messi was adjudged to have been the best player of the Club World Championship, and after the dramatic final, he spoke of what Barca have achieved in the last year.

The Blaugrana won all six of the competitions they participated in in 2009, and Lionel Messi believes it will be hard for any team to ever match that feat. Speaking to Marca after the game, he said, "We have not yet realized what we have done."

"It will be difficult for another team to repeat it."

Messi then spoke of the final itself, continuing, "It was very complicated, because Estudiantes has a lot of great players."

"They are very organized and play very fast."

Messi finished the tournament with two goals, having also scored in the semi-final win over Atlante.
