Barcelona have reached the Club World Cup final after beating Guangzhou Evergrande, with Luis Suarez scoring all three in a 3-0 win.

The Uruguayan's goalscoring achievements are well-known to fans across the world, but the treble in Yokohama takes him to a whole new level. It is, remarkably, the seventh different competition in which Suarez has walked away with the match ball - something the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are yet to achieve. https://twitter.com/Mister_Numbers/status/677458950976049152 Strangely it was only Suarez's second hat-trick of the season, but he is the first player to ever score three times in a Club World Cup game. Barcelona will take on River Plate in the final after the South American champions beat Sanfrecce in the other semi-final.
