Lionel Messi opened the scoring sheet in the 36th minute of the game before Luis Suarez banged in a brace to give the Catarlans a comfortable victory.
Neymar wasn't on the score sheet but was the provider of two assists that once more proved Barcelona's formidable array of attacking talents making them the first club to win three Club World Cups, following successful 2009 and 2011 campaigns.
The River Plate side made some goal threatening moves as an Alario header gave the barcelona goalie "Bravo" a rare piece of late action and Martinez rattled the post from range with Gerard Pique forced to head a dangerous cross from Tabare Viudez over his own crossbar but none was enough to beat the goal keeper who finished the tournament unblemished as he conceded no goal.
Luis Suarez also emerged top goalscorer with a record 5 goals in two games. The first being a hat-trick in the semi final added to the brace he notched in Sunday's Final.
Barca won a brilliant treble of La Liga, Copa Del Rey and Champions League last season, also lifting the Uefa Super Cup this term, and completed an unprecedented quintuple for the calendar year on Sunday.
