In the early morning of June 27 (Vietnam time), Man City had an impressive performance when defeating Juventus with a score of 5-2 in the match in Group G of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 held at Camping World Stadium, Orlando (USA). The victory helped coach Pep Guardiola and his team affirm their position as the top candidate for the championship.
Erling Haaland scored his 300th career goal, while Rodri started for the first time in months after a knee injury. Despite the harsh weather – intense heat and torrential rain – City dominated and dominated Juventus, who beat them 2-0 in the Champions League last season.
Speaking after the match, coach Guardiola expressed his satisfaction: "I like the way we played today. It's been a long time since I've seen Man City play with such intensity and cohesion."
Regarding Rodri's return, Guardiola shared: "Sooner or later he has to start again. I intended to play him for 45 minutes, but at half-time Rodri said he wanted five to 10 more minutes. The game was well controlled and everyone understands how important he is to the team. He is one of the best midfielders in the world ."
The match started with an early goal from Jeremy Doku, before Teun Koopmeiners equalised after a mistake from goalkeeper Ederson. However, an own goal from Pierre Kalulu put Man City back in front, before Haaland, Phil Foden and Savinho all scored in the second half. Dusan Vlahovic scored a consolation goal for Juventus late on.
With this result, Manchester City finished the group stage with a perfect record and holds a big advantage in the journey to conquer this year's Club World Cup.
One notable point is that midfielder Jack Grealish was absent from the trip to the US, sparking speculation about his possible move to Bayern Munich. However, coach Guardiola refused to comment specifically: "I wish Jack all the best, but I don't know what will happen."
Manchester City will enter the knockout round in high form and full of determination, promising to be a tough opponent for any team.
