They don’t stop anymore…
Manchester City wins another trophy. City also confidently reached the final of the Club World Cup, defeating Fluminense 4-0. For coach Pep Guardiola (52) and Co., it is the fifth title of the year after the triple victory in the 2022/2023 season and the triumph in the UEFA Super Cup (against Sevilla in August).
Decisive: a very early lightning goal with his chest!

After just 37 seconds, City defender Nathan Aké takes a shot from distance. His shot hits the post. Striker and Argentina world champion Julian Alvarez reacts quickest and unconventionally maneuvers the ball over the line with his chest as it falls (1st).
The replacement for the injured top striker Erling Haaland (23, bone stress reaction) scores after just 40 seconds to give City an early 1-0 lead! It is the fastest goal in the history of the FIFA Club World Cup. In addition to Haaland, City playmaker Kevin de Bruyne (thigh) cannot take part.
Supervisor attacks out of nowhere Coach is completely freaking out!

Fluminense, the winner of South America’s top continental club competition, the Copa Libertadores, is behind early. Marcelo (at Real from 2007 to 2022) and Co. conceded the second goal in the first half – and it was extremely unfortunate.
Phil Foden finishes in the penalty area, Fluminense defender Nino throws himself into the shot and extends the ball unstoppably into the far corner to make it 2-0 for Manchester City (27th). Fluminense does not take advantage of the few opportunities that come their way.
In the second half, City put the lid on it. Phil Foden slots in Alvarez’s cross to make it 3-0 (72′), Alvarez finally makes everything clear with his second goal to make it 4-0 (88′).
City rounds off a perfect year. In 2023, the Manchester club was crowned English champions, FA Cup winners, won the Champions League and the Uefa Sufer Cup and now also the Club World Cup. A year for the history books!
