Manchester City achieved a resounding 5-2 victory over Juventus in the Club World Cup, with five different players scoring goals. While they faced a setback with an equalizer by Teun Koopmeiners, City regained control with an own goal by Pierre Kalulu and further extended their lead through Erling Haaland, who marked his 300th career goal. Coach Pep Guardiola praised the performance, expressing that it was a robust display after a tough previous season and instilling renewed belief in his players. This win also marked City’s first against Juventus since 1976, snapping a six-game winless streak against them.
"I liked the way we did it. It has been a long time since we had a performance like this on and off the ball. The players were committed, and we are happy to beat a top side."
"This is just one game, but I think the players felt again what it was like to be a good team. The belief always comes from your performances, not your past."
