With a goal from Julián Álvarez, Manchester City partially gets on the scoreboard against Fluminense, for the grand final of the 2023 Club World Cup. After a bad start, due to 'citizen' pressure, the Brazilian team awarded them the ball to Nathan Aké, who did not hesitate and finished from mid-range, crashing the ball into the crossbar.

Not even a minute passed in the match and the Champions League champion, Manchester City, opened the scoring, after an error by Marcelo, who gave the ball away with a long stroke, something that was taken advantage of to catch the Brazilian team wrong, who did not manage to leave in time, leaving Julian Álvarez, who finished on goal with his chest, after Aké's shot hit the post

As expected before the match, Manchester City largely dominated the match, reflecting its superiority on the field of play with possession of the ball and being the team that generated the most dangerous opportunities in the first minutes, drowning Fluminense in his own field, who cannot get out.

The Brazilian team knows that it must play a perfect match to be able to achieve a feat and break with the hegemony that UEFA has imposed in the Club World Cup, since the last team that achieved such a feat was Corinthians in 2012, by winning to Chelsea in the final.

The last dance

Remember that this will be the last edition of the Club World Cup as we know it, since starting in 2025, this tournament will expand its participants to 32, taking place every four years, one summer before the World Cup.
