Barcelona were without Lionel Messi and Neymar but they still managed to beat Chinese Super League champions Guanghzou Evergrande 3-0 in the semi-finals. That's the problem with facing Barcelona, even if those two are absent there's still Luis Suarez around to score a hat-trick against you.  Messi and Naymar are doubtful for Sunday's final but Naymar in particular is hopeful of playing it. Barcelona have already won four trophies in 2015 and this looks more than likely to be the fifth triumph. They take on River Plate from Argentina who got through to the final with a 1-0 win over Sanfrecce Hiroshima. The Argentinian side are ninth in the Argentinian Primera Division and have only won one of their last five league games.  It took until the 72nd minute for them to get the decisive winning goal against Hiroshima and obviously they face a much tougher task here up against the Spanish giants. Even without Neymar and Messi, Barcelona should have far too much for the Argentinian side and can win this tournament for the third time in their history.
