Man City off to a good start

In the first match in Group G, Man City defeated Wydad AC 2-0, with goals from Foden and Doku.

Juventus had a terrible season, being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, the semi-finals of the Supercoppa Italiana and the play-off round of the Champions League. With efforts in the final rounds, the Bianconeri were able to finish 4th in Serie A, thereby earning a ticket to Europe's top tournament next season.

This is the third empty-handed season in the last four seasons, making the hope of returning to glory days increasingly dim for Juve fans. In a not-so-bright context, they also do not have a satisfactory choice on the coaching bench. After Thiago Motta was fired, the Bianconeri Board of Directors was forced to extend the contract of interim coach Igor Tudor because they could not persuade Antonio Conte and Gian Piero Gasperini. Now, Tudor must shoulder the goal of going far in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup to bring some positivity before entering the new 2025/26 season.

However, this is not an easy task as Group G also includes Man City, Wydad AC of Morocco and the opening match opponent Al Ain, the 2023/24 AFC Champions League champions. In the past, Al Ain caused a surprise when they defeated Team Wellington, Esperance Tunis and River Plate to reach the final of the 2018 Club World Cup, where they lost 1-4 to Real.

Last season, after a shaky start in February and March, Al Ain regained their form and went on a seven-match unbeaten run (winning four). This impressive run included six clean sheets and only one goal conceded, while scoring 12 goals.
