Manchester City's Historic Win over Juventus
Manchester City Dominate Juventus in Club World Cup
Manchester City secured a historic victory against Juventus in the third group stage match of the Club World Cup on Thursday evening. The triumph saw Pep Guardiola and Rodri break remarkable records.
The Citizens faced the Italian giants in the competition for the third time. Despite previous losses, Manchester City emerged victorious, scoring five goals to Juventus' one. The Italian side struggled to cope with the English club's dominance.
This win marked the first time Manchester City had defeated Juventus in an official competition since September 1976. The previous encounters ended in four defeats and two draws.
The victory solidified Manchester City's position as the only team in the tournament to win all three group stage matches. Additionally, their 13 goals are the most in the competition this season, surpassing Bayern Munich's 12.
Rodri, making his first appearance since an injury in September, played a crucial role in the win. His performance was lauded alongside Guardiola's managerial prowess, who has now won all his matches in the Club World Cup with both Barcelona and Manchester City.
Manchester City's unbeaten streak in international club competitions with Rodri on the field extends to 27 matches (18 wins and 9 draws) since their loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League in May 2022.
