HISTORIC RESULT AND CURRENT FORM

This victory is one of the biggest surprises in Club World Cup history. Manchester City had done well in the group stage, winning all their matches and scoring the most goals. Manchester City won all three of their group matches in the FIFA Club World Cup, while Al Hilal, who allowed only one goal in their group stage, including a draw with Real Madrid, are now more confident. For City, losing is a major setback after dominating in Europe where they were expected to win the trophy.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR BOTH TEAMS?

Al Hilal will play Fluminense next. Fluminense also surprised everyone by beating Inter Milan in the quarterfinals. The Saudi team will celebrate their famous win but need to quickly get ready for another big challenge. Manchester City, on the other hand, need to recover from this unexpected loss. Their next match will be in domestic competition, where they will try to move past this disappointment and keep aiming for other trophies.
