Manchester City were crowned FIFA World champions on Friday night following a 4-0 win over Fluminense in their Club World Cup final match at the King Abdullah Sports City stadium in Saudi Arabia.
Julio Alvarez’s brace, an own goal and Phil Foden’s strike settled the encounter.
Alvarez chested in Nathan Ake’s long range shot on the rebound in the first minute before Nino erroneously converted Phil Foden’s cutback into his own goal to help the English side extend their lead on the 27 minutes.
