Manchester City secures historic FIFA Club World Cup win

Posted : 23 December 2023

Julian Alvarez secured a brace as Manchester City clinched their first-ever FIFA Club World Cup title by defeating Brazilian side Fluminense in Saudi Arabia. The English side, led by manager Pep Guardiola, started strong with Alvarez finding the net just 40 seconds into the game.

 

They extended their lead in the 27th minute when Nino scored an own goal off Phil Foden's cross. Foden himself added to the tally in the second half before Alvarez sealed the victory with a clinical strike in the 88th minute. This triumph marked City's fifth trophy in a calendar year, making them the first English team to achieve such a feat.

Guardiola, reflecting on the remarkable year, said, "It was an incredible year. Today we closed the chapter. We won everything we could. Now time to try again." Despite the success, the victory was somewhat tempered by Rodri's injury, a key player for the team.

 

In claiming the Club World Cup, City followed in the footsteps of Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea but distinguished themselves as the first English side to win five trophies in a single year, adding to their Treble from the previous season.

While winning the Club World Cup hasn't always held the same significance for English clubs, Guardiola emphasized its importance to him and the team. City's dominant performance showcased their strength, with goalkeeper Ederson rarely tested.

 

Guardiola acknowledged the team's luck early in the match but praised their adjustment in the second half, leading to an improved performance. With this historic win, City will now shift their focus back to the Premier League, aiming to leverage the momentum and confidence gained from being crowned world champions as they resume their domestic campaign.
