Guardiola: Manchester City winning Club World Cup would last 'forever'
Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola says lifting the Club World Cup today, would be something his players can cherish forever, as he played down the importance of the English champions’ patchy Premier League form.
City won only one of their previous six league games prior to flying out to Saudi Arabia for the Club World Cup, but easily swept aside Japan’s Urawa Reds 3-0 to reach the final.
Guardiola’s men are strong favourites to win a fifth trophy in 2023 against Brazil’s Fluminense in Jeddah.
No European side has lost in the Club World Cup in 21 games since 2012.
Guardiola could become the first coach to win the Club World Cup with three different clubs.
The 52-year-old has already won the competition three times, twice in charge of Barcelona and once during his spell at Bayern Munich.
