Last season, Man City was completely empty-handed. The performance of coach Pep Guardiola's team was very unstable. As a result, they had a season that can be considered the worst ever under the reign of the Spanish strategist.

Therefore, the FIFA Club World Cup is considered a tournament to save Man City. Although saying goodbye to veteran Kevin De Bruyne, the team has also quickly added many new players such as Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki. That shows that Man City is very determined. Their first challenge will be Wydad, a team from Morocco.

Domestically, Wydad are one of the most illustrious names. Not only have they never been relegated from the Moroccan National Championship, they are also record holders with 22 titles.

In the African Champions League, Wydad has also won 3 times, the most recent being in 2022. With many small teams making surprises so far at the Club World Cup, Wydad still has the right to hope for a positive result.

The match between Man City and Wydad will take place at 11pm on June 18, and will be broadcast live on Tuoi Tre Online.
