In his pre-match press conference, Barcelona defender and Mexican international Rafa Marquez has expressed his team's ravenous hunger to claim a sixth consecutive title by winning the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi.

"We know we have a very unique opportunity before us. Everyone in the club knows it. We are hungry for another title and to be a great team we have the responsibility to win," the centre-back proclaimed.
