Guardiola hails his Man City players after Club World Cup triumph

Manchester City were comfortable Club World Cup winners against Fluminense in Jeddah on Friday.

Even with Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne, City were 4-0 winners on the night.

Julian Alvarez scored twice and Phil Foden was on the scoresheet, with Flu also suffering an own goal.

“I am so proud of this Club," City manager Pep Guardiola declared.

"What we have done is an outstanding achievement.

“To win this trophy is to be the best team in the world and our players, our coaches, our backroom staff, all of them work hard every single day to bring us this success.

“As a manager it is what I am most proud of; that we are always there. No matter how much we win, no matter what trophies we lift, we are there again to fight for the next one.

“To win the Treble was truly special, but to win two more trophies and now hold these five major titles shows the unique mentality of this team, of the Club and its fans.

“It is something no other English team has ever achieved and we will always remember this incredible time we spent together."
