Philipp Lahm: 'Club World Cup would cap off 2013'

Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm believes that winning the Club World Cup would complete a very successful 2013.

Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm has admitted that a win in Saturday's Club World Cup final would round off a successful year for the club.

Lahm, whose side won the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League treble, said that Bayern are completely determined to win the title against Raja Casablanca after their 3-0 win against Guangzhou Evergrande.

"We said we would need the bulk of the possession against this team with their good counter-attacking players," he told the club's official website. "We needed a relatively long time before the opening goal, but overall we were composed and focused. That's the way we wanted it beforehand.

"This is a very special tournament and we were utterly determined to make the final. Now we want to bring home the trophy. That's what we've come here to do. It would mean we can go into the winter break with a good confidence."

Bayern are currently seven points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.
