Pep Guardiola’s men chase first place in Group G

Manchester City put five goals past Juventus in their final Club World Cup group stage tie to improve their chances of avoiding Real Madrid in the round of 16.

City had cruised through the tournament until this point and today faced their first proper test, but swiftly reduced the 36-time Serie A champions to the level of their minnow groupmates Wydad AC and Al-Ain, closing out the group stages with a statement win marked by flashy, swaggering goals.

City finding a new top gear coincided with Rodri’s return to the starting lineup, ten months after suffering an ACL injury which saw him miss much of last season. He produced the same kind of display which won him the Ballon d’Or, pulling the strings from midfield as he completed 65 minutes.
