Manchester City achieved a historic victory against Fluminense in a match where they were vastly superior. This caused the team to achieve a key 4-0 victory against the Copa Libertadores champion. Although Haaland was not in the game, the great figure of the game was Julian Alvarez, who scored a double in the game and won the game's MVP award.
The fastest goal in the history of the tournament. When others are just taking their first steps into the elite, the Argentine striker completes an extraordinary track record. At 23 years old he has already won the World Cup, the Copa America, the Champions League, the Copa Libertadores and this Club World Cup. In all of history, only the Brazilians Dida and Cafú had managed to collect these five trophies that Julián now has.
Those led by Josep Guardiola largely dominated the game and had a few more chances to expand, although the Brazilians had two chances: Germán Cano created a penalty for an infringement inside the area, but the VAR checked that there had been a previous offside; then Jhon Arias made Ederson upset with a point-blank header well deactivated by the City goalkeeper. It was the only danger that Fluminense generated.
Julian Alvarez' new value
Julian Alvarez arrived at Manchester City a season ago as one of the most surprising signings of all, because he was an exciting talent in Argentina, but had had no experience in Europe. Manchester City paid 30 million euros at that time and now, according to Transfermarkt, Julian Alvarez has a new value of 90 million euros.
