Argentina international Gonzalo Higuain opened the scoring on nine minutes as he polished off a swift Real counter attack from fellow countryman AngelDi Maria's cutback.
The 21-year-old is widely-regarded as one of the best players in the world, and he had another great game in Saturday's final, setting up Angeldi Maria's goal in the 1-0 victory.
AngeldiMaria then forced a flying save from Jung Sung-Ryong, and Messi thrilled the crowd with a brilliantly jinking run before clipping a shot narrowly wide from the edge of the box.
Real Madrid's AngelDiMaria went and did what many are taught to do in those situations: He tried to delay the free kick, partly to waste time, partly to allow his teammates at the back to ready themselves.
