CLUB WORLD CUP FINAL 2023

For the first time, Manchester City clinched the Club World Cup title by defeating Copa Libertadores champions Fluminense with an impressive 4-0 victory in Jeddah.

Pep Guardiola's team showcased their dynamic and attacking style of play, while Fluminense, persistently attempting to build from the back throughout the match, struggled to mount a substantial response.

As the reigning Champions League winners and Europe's representative, City added yet another accolade to their collection, marking their first title of the season and their fifth in a single calendar year.
