Unbeaten in five Club World Cup games (W3, D2), they\u2019ve built their run on <strong>solid defensive structure<\/strong> and <strong>team unity<\/strong>, having conceded in just two matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rio de Janeiro club has already shocked Europe\u2019s elite by ousting <strong>UEFA Champions League finalists Inter Milan<\/strong>, proving they\u2019re no pushovers.
