Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard is determined to prove the superiority of European soccer in Sunday's Club World Cup final, but warns that Brazilian opponents Corinthians have the samba magic to jeopardize his side's plans for global domination.
Chelsea beat Mexico's Monterrey 3-1 on Thursday night to set up a showdown with South American champions Corinthians at Nissan Stadium, giving the Londoners the chance to lay their hands on the world title for the first time in the club's history.
European teams have won every edition of the Club World Cup since Brazil's Internacional last claimed the trophy for South America in 2006, and Lampard is keen to maintain that stranglehold against the Sao Paulo side on Sunday.
