Topic: [FINAL] FIFA Club World Cup; Manchester City vs Fluminense - page 2. (Read 233 times)

The levels of the two teams are quite different, and player price valuations are also very different. But this is the final match, both teams must prepare carefully.
And we can see that Man City certainly dominates the game, with 4 goals without reply. Of course, many people were betting on this final match.

It's not a difficult result to predict, but you also have to respect Fluminense because they competed quite well even though the result was a loss.
This victory is an important asset for Man City to restore their team's confidence after the last few matches in the Premier League did not meet expectations.
Once again congratulations to Man City, they deserved to get the trophy.

It was clear from the beginning of the match till the end that City was the better side. They dominated the game where they attacked and defended very well. Scoring four goals in a final means that the losers were outclassed totally. Fluminense didn't threaten the City's defence at all, I just saw only one goal on target. City have added another trophy after winning massively last season. But the match has some bad news with Manchester City midfielder Rodri sustaining an injury. With the absence of other important players like  Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Kevin De Bruyne, City will have to struggle to win their future games. Although I am not a fan of City, congratulations to them.

Watched the game online and we can really see how Manchester dominates the match and claim the championship. Their total team effort pays off and luckily, I was able to place some bet before the game started, it looks like this is expected by many because of a good run with Manchester on their previous matches. Still congratulations for Fluminense for getting into the finals, we know how hard it is and we know that they did their best too.

There was no doubt about Manchester's victory in the final match, as evidenced by the wide score achieved by 4:0. Congratulations to Manchester and to all those who place their bet on it.
In fact, I was waiting for the result to be close after watching Fluminense’s performance during its last matches, in which it demonstrated great efficiency that made it worthy of the opportunity to reach the final match. Throughout the match, Fluminense was only able to reach the scoring area a few times, but Manchester's defenses were amazing and did not leave them many opportunities to get the ball close to their goal.

A well deserving team won another championship, congrats to Manchester and to those who place their bet on this team. I thought the match will be a close up but it ended up with a huge upset at 4-0, Manchester really shows a champion team and claiming back the title. Fluminese might fell short but still they have a great season and for sure they will come back stronger next world cup. Manchester is the team favorite and they didn’t fail their fans as they get the Championship again.

As expected Manchester City brought back the trophy home FiFa Club World Cup, Fluminense received a very early goal at the first minute of the match by Alvarez who scored the earliest record goal in this Cup beside it’s a goal in finals in just 40 seconds.
Pep Guardiola is creating history for Manchester City, I believe that everything this team on lately is because or at least with the big help of this coach holding all Premier League, UCL, UEFA Super Cup, and the FCWC titles and become also the first Premier League team that win all these trophies. Don’t you think that since Pep arrived to City everything has changed for the best. Yes he had some downs before, But he worked hard to prepare a strong team.
Marcelo got the best note of Fluminense team in this match, at his age I would say he is a great player that served and played much in Real Madrid. I wished that he joins the SPL and play with or against his previous teammates, Ronaldo and Benzema.

The odds of this match were so easy to get, betting for Manchester City with high stakes were not that high risk, so congratulations for those who set a bet.

Manchester City were on rampant in their FIFA Club World Cup today against Brazilian club Fluminense. The European champions did not in any way give their opponents a chance to come back in the game as they delivered a clinical performance against the South American champions. Fluminense who has former Real Madrid star Marcelo did their best but it wasn't enough to stop a Manchester City team that was playing in their full strength.

Since the history of the FIFA Club World Cup began, the final has been played more by European and Brazilian clubs but unlike what we used to see in the past, Manchester City had little worries in that game. Corinthians in the 2012 edition defeated the then European champions Chelsea by a lone goal in the final but that wasn't the case today as Manchester City cruised to easy win

I did not expect a such destructive Manchester City as they won 4-0 which shows the absolute superiority against the Brazilian team of Fluminense,of course Fluminense is not in a good position in this year and this also impacted the game.I remember other times when even stronger teams than City like glorious Milan at the their peak of gold times having difficulties to win against Sao Paulo from Brazil or other South American teams like Boca Juniors or River Plate.

Things have changed now and they were crowned World Club Champions at the Jewel Stadium and they fully deserved it,there is no more else to say regarding this matter.

Well it too obvious that Manchester city are going to be champions. European team have been dominating tha competition for as long as I can remember or recall and the only time I knew an European team lost in that competition would be the famous Corinthians win over the  English premier league team Chelsea, the year they became champions of Europe, Chelsea lost that game to the Brazilian team Corinthians and it was something of great surprise and joy for the Brazilians but no doubt such case won't repeat itself with Manchester city.

It is quite certain that Guarduiola is now the first manager to win the Club World Cup 4 times, because from the look of the match in the first half, City is already winning with a 2-0 victory and I don't think that Fluminense will be able to equalize these tow goals, talk more of winning the match.

Man City is a strong club and their opponent will not be able to withstand their pressure because Guardiola will want to make history by winning tonight's game. City should be very happy that they met a weak club in this match.

A very easy win for Manchester city tonight. I didn't even bother trying to pronounce the club name they are playing with. The scoreline already assured that city is the winner of this final and it is one among other trophies they are set to add to their trophy cabinet this season.
Nice control from Alvarez and I before I could complete my appraisal of the striker, he did well to make an assist to help Foren secure the third goal of the night.

This wasn't a contest for Manchester city as they are meant to beat Fluminense and as it stands the game is 3:0 in favour of Manchester city.
The consistency of European teams always beating the very best clubs in other continent shows how far apart the European teams are from others.
I think this should not be a contest anymore as the outcome of this sort of matches are already known. Although this also a chance for players of the lesser team to showcase their skills and talents in such competition and who knows it may just help their future.

Any top European club would look the same compared to Fluminense now. The gap between Europe and the rest of the world at club level is too big. In the entire history of the Club World Cup, the title has been lost by European team only three times: in 2012, Chelsea lost to Corinthians, in 2005, Liverpool lost to Sao Paulo, and in 2000, Real Madrid did not even reach the final.

Separately, it is worth noting that even though Europe missed out on 3 titles, this does not mean that at one time someone was close to the elite of European football from non-European teams. Unfortunately, this tournament has a very low status (probably lower than national cups) and European teams treat the games here as friendly ones.
Thanks to Saudi Arabia, trends are emerging that seem to lead to the fact that in a few years this tournament will make sense as European clubs will lose their hegemony, but at the moment you should not count on this.

I think in the second half, City (taking into account the mistakes made during the game against Crystal Palace) would rather score a couple more goals than allow Fluminense to reduce the gap in the score. At the moment, bookmakers quote the likely scorer of the third goal as:

Manchester City 1.55

None 3.43

Fluminense FC RJ 6.47

It's hard to disagree with them. And it seems to me that there is some value in the odds of 1.55.

Manchester City 2:0 Fluminense (HT)

It didn't take the citizens up to 10 minutes and they got one goal in from Alvarez, he chested the ball to an empty post, following a rebound shot from Ake. Manchester City has been very fantastic so far, each time they're with the ball, they're always a threat to the opponent. Fluminense could not stand City's constant pressure and Nino scored an own goal in the 27 mins to put City 2 goals up. Fluminense were only able to produce one shot on target in the first half and has not been really convincing.

Manchester City will not get this far to lose to team like Fluminense, it will be almost impossible unless maybe with 3 red cards which I don't see happening. Pep Guardiola is a coach that does not love losing at finals especially to a weaker side. So this match is more or less an easy win for Manchester City. 

This is going to be a walk in the park for Manchester City, I expected some form of ressilience from Fluminense, but giving Man City the opportunity to take the lead just after 40 seconds isn't what they'd be able to savage a good result from, and Man City have just doubled their lead before the 30 minute mark, so it's pretty much a wrap for Man City and Guardiola, another trophy to add to their 2023 collections.

Though in recent Manchester city's recent games in the premier league has been ending in drwas and they seem to drop a bit of form ,But I do believe Manchester city is still the favorite team to win the game despite the fact that they're already leading in the game with a 1-0 ,and I hope that the final result will be in their favor.

I bet on Man. City in the final, but I'm rooting for Fluminense hehe
City have already scored 1x0  with less than a minute of play, so it's going to be very difficult now, but guys, watch the match, Fluminense have a great team and could get a good result

I created the thread for the FIFA Club World Cup, but not many people are interested in it 
Here's my thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5477599.20

Lol! Alvarez score after just 40 secs. Yeah ManCity definitely will win this and it will be their 1st trophy in this tournament.
There will be many goals from this match, it will be open play.

I predict Manchester City will win and lift this historic trophy because Manchester City had never won it before Pep Guardiola came and gave them a winning touch.
Pep Guardiola's squad is without Haaland. Haaland's position was replaced by Alvarez. Maybe Alvarez's winning mentality can give Manchester City the championship. In the Fluminense camp, Marcelo, who is very experienced in every final match, seems to be giving him the special task of guarding Alvarez.
