Go Go Mazembe!!!

If Mazembe beat the other Inter it'd be soooo funny.

And people do care, remember last year's final between Estudiantes and Barça, all Spain media was really focused on it and they gave it quite the importance. Of course in America we care more, but I do think European clubs care  about winning it.

right behind the Intercontinental Cup, which is equally irrelevant as the UEFA Super Cup...

These are all basically just friendlies.

The Intercontinental Cup isn't played anymore and was replaced by the CWC..myself I preferred the old cup but in the end usually the SA and European teams get to the finals...of course, this is an exception. And to call it a friendly is an insult....sure, that Boca 2 - Real Madrid 1 was so much of a friendly...so much that ther thousand and thousands of people receiving our team after the triumph in the airport.

And I remember that in Madrid they weren't very happy they lost...for them it was a big deal

it's like the tale of the fox and grapes.

last year we could see how it didn't mean anything for Guardiola when he was crying like a baby hehe

Yeah, I know, I mean, newspapers in Spain barely talked about it, right?

Or what about the day before, I mean, it was such an unimportant cup, they surely didn't dedicate the front page to it, didn't they?

oh wow a Spanish sports newspaper.

There is just nothing else going on that's why they put it on there.

It IS nothing special and if you're an European football fan you would know that.

Ask any football fan on the street who won the last club world cup or the one before that or the one before that. I'm one of the most dedicated football fans among my friends and even I didn't know if Barca won last year and I already forgot their opponent. I doubt even the news in other European countries talk about it for more than one day.

Fine, here you go a non sports newspaper

And just so you know that day Real Madrid beat Zaragoza 6-0 in La Liga, so there WAS something else going.

It's not my fault that you can't remember the finals, then again, your teams don't get to play it much so it's no wonder, but don't worry, I can't remember the last teams to win the Bundesliga so it's pretty much the same, just because YOU don't know it doesn't mean no one knows it or cares

sry but you CAN'T change the facts.

If you don't believe me the it's your problem.

I accept that it might be popular in South America and probably even Asia and Africa, but in Europe it's NOT.

I would never claim any nonsense about your continent when you say that it's not true, yet you do it.

Also hilarious that you think it actually matters when something on the front of a newspaper. Spain could have won the cricket world cup and it would be on the front page even though I bet no one cares about that either in that country. It's just about showing off that Spain is an ultimate power in whatever sports. That's true for ever country. If it was a team from any other European country that won it they wouldn't have cared about it either.
