ROME (AFP) - In beating Boca Juniors 4-2 in the Club World Cup final in Toyko on Sunday, AC Milan set a new record of international titles.

Two goals from veteran Italy striker Filippo Inzaghi, one from Ballon d'Or winner Kaka and another from centre-back Alessandro Nesta secured a fourth triumph in the Club World Cup and its predecessor the Intercontinental Cup for Milan.

That, added to their seven Champions League/European Cup victories, two Cup Winners' Cups and five European Super Cups, took Milan's total of international titles to 18 - one more than their defeated Argentine foes.

Next in the list come Real Madrid and Argentina's Independiente on 15 with Egypt's Al Ahly fifth with 13.

Despite their remarkable success abraod, Milan are well behind Juventus in terms of domestic success.

They have won 17 Italian titles, five Cups and five Super Cups (27 trophies) compared to 27 titles, nine Cups and four Super Cups (40 trophies) for the Old Lady of Turin.
