YOKOHAMA (Reuters):

A Ronaldinho-inspired Barcelona booked their place in the Club World Cup final with a classic 4-0 demolition of Mexico's America yesterday.

The European champions will face Brazil's Internacional in Sunday's final after cruising to a comfortable victory in front of 62,000 in rainswept Yokohama.

"At halftime we said to each other we would look for the third goal to kill the game off — as we did," Eidur Gudjohnsen, scorer of Barca's first goal, told Reuters.

"We didn't stop at 2-0. We started to enjoy it a lot. Now we can relax a little bit and start concentrating on the next game."

Iceland international Gudjohnsen put Barcelona in front in the 11th minute following a sweeping three-man move ignited by a sumptuous Ronaldinho back-heel.

Andres Iniesta cleverly released Gudjohnsen and the former Chelsea striker fired a crisp right-foot shot into the far corner past goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.
