Manchester City won the FIFA Club World Cup by defeating Fluminense 4-0 in the final at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Saudi Arabia.
Pep Guardiola’s side completed a remarkable 2023 by becoming the first English club in history to hold the Premier League, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup all at the same time.
City will now return to Manchester to prepare for Wednesday’s Premier League encounter against Everton.
Club captain Kyle Walker stressed the need of consistency.
4-0 WIN FOR MANCHESTER CITY OVER FLUMINENSE
“We’ve demonstrated over the last 12 months that we are the best team in the world.” Our outcomes demonstrate this, as does the consistency we have achieved.
“Winning these five trophies – the five biggest prizes available to us, in my opinion – is incredible.” I am really thrilled to have been a part of this, and it is an honour to play alongside these men; I couldn’t have asked for finer teammates.
“And it isn’t just the players – the team behind the team here at City are the best you could ever ask for and I want to put on record my thanks and appreciation for every single person who works here day to day to try and help us be the best we can be,” added the Manchester City captain.
