ALABAMA - Manchester City made history on December 22 by becoming the first English team to win five trophies in a single calendar year. With a performance that earned him the Man of the Match award, Julián Álvarez' brace helped Pep Guardiola's team to close out a historic year for the club with a 4-0 win over Copa Libertadores winners Fluminense.
"It's a beautiful, beautiful day," said Guardiola after winning his 4th FIFA Club World Cup title, the most by any manager. "I'm very pleased and I would like to say we had the feeling we would close the chapter; we won all the titles, there's nothing else to win. I had a feeling the job is done, it is over. Now it's Christmas time, we buy another book and start to write it again. The last eight years, it's over."
