Julian Alvarez Creates World Record; Manchester City Beat Fluminense To Win Club World Cup Final 2023

Alvarez made history by scoring the fastest goal (40 seconds) in a Club World Cup final, chesting the ball into an unguarded net after Nathan Ake's shot rebounded off the post.

Manchester City's win served as the pinnacle of an extraordinary year for the team, securing their fifth trophy of 2023.

Manchester City played the summit clash without the services of their injured star striker Erling Haaland.

Earlier in the year, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City had claimed victory in the FA Cup, Premier League, Champions League, and UEFA Super Cup.

Manchester City's triumph made manager Pep Guardiola the first manager to lead three different clubs to Club World Cup titles, having previously secured victories with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011, followed by Bayern Munich in 2013.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri was awarded the Golden Ball Award as the player of the tournament.
