On Friday, Manchester City had a great opportunity to add another trophy to their collection: the title of winner of the Club World Cup. In the final of the tournament, which took place in Saudi Arabia, Josep Guardiola’s team faced the Brazilian Fluminense.
The intrigue in the match died in the 40th second. Julián Álvarez put Manchester City ahead and at the same time set the record for the fastest goal of the tournament. Halfway through the half, Fluminense player Nino clipped the ball into his own goal.
After the break, Phil Foden and Alvarez himself took matters to a 4-0 defeat.
Manchester City won the title of the strongest club in the world for the first time in history. Last season the team won the Champions League, the English Championship and the FA Cup.
Starting in 2025, the World Club Championship will change format: it will be held every four years and with the participation of 32 teams.
