Manchester City has clinched this year’s Club World Cup, marking a historic triumph for the Premier League champions. The team secured a 4-0 victory over Fluminense, claiming the trophy for the first time in the club’s history.
The scoring spree began just 40 seconds into the match when Julian Alvarez found the net, and City’s lead was further extended with an own goal. Phil Foden contributed to the commanding 3-0 lead, sliding in at the far post to convert Alvarez’s cross following Stones’s interception high up the pitch. Alvarez sealed the win with the final goal in the 88th minute.
This triumph adds to Pep Guardiola’s team’s remarkable achievements this calendar year, as they have now secured five trophies, including the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, and UEFA Super Cup.
