How important is the FIFA World Club Championship?

On Saturday Internationale Milan won the FIFA World Club Championship. This completed a great year for Inter, but how important is this title?

On their website they display the title of world champions and rightly so as this short tournament declares the world champions, but there are those who are basically not bothered.

Is it just for the simple confirmation of the title that teams take it seriously or is it becoming the most important title. Is it more important than winning the Champions league?

There has been the Intercontinental championship in the past, but it was never considered seriously as a major trophy. Scenes for each winner of the new trophy shows the importance to teams.

Tears and celebrations that only suggest that this is a prestigious prize and the top of club football. I personally remember Pepe Guardiola's tears of joy as Barcelona completed their perfect season and year.

It maybe attitudes of different countries, particulary England where it seems its not catching on. Well for fans besides Manchester United when they won the trophy in 2008. In my opinion it is becoming a bigger deal, and the more the competition is around the more important it will become.

Teams that win it will in the future be able to look back at winning the FIFA World Club Championship as big as an achievement in Europe as winning the UEFA Champions League.
