EXCLUSIVE Inside Manchester City's Club World Cup failure: How saunas, crosswords and Rayan Cherki's French rap turned into an Al Hilal nightmare - and what happens now
The beach yoga on Florida 's east coast wouldn't have felt quite so tranquil the morning after Al Hilal, as Manchester City prepared to board their two-floor 153-seat Atlas private charter back home a week earlier than anybody expected. At least they can't complain about a lack of rest next season now. The players are not due back until July 28, a four-week break and 18 days before the Premier League begins thanks to the early Club World Cup elimination. That will creep up quickly and they'll need some time to forget about what happened here in Orlando.

NSW weather update: thousands without power and at least 200 properties affected by flooding as storm continues
Thousands are without power across New South Wales this morning after severe winds and heavy rain battered the state, with wind gusts up to 122km/h and several places receiving more than 200mm rain. The NSW State Emergency Service has responded to more than 2,320 incidents since a vigorous coastal low began lashing the state's east coast, bringing intense rainfall and strong winds. The majority of incidents involved fallen trees, powerlines and damaged roofs, the NSW SES said. Flood rescue crews also responded to numerous incidents related to flash flooding around Shoalhaven overnight. At least 35,000 remained without power on Wednesday morning, according to network operators Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy and Essential Energy. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email Residents of Wamberal and North Entrance on the NSW Central Coast were asked to evacuate on Tuesday due to coastal erosion, with warnings ongoing on Wednesday morning for dangerous waves which could significantly damage buildings, and the NSW SES door-knocking those affected. The Bureau of Meteorology reported widespread falls of 50 to 100mm across the Illawarra and the south coast in the 21 hours to 6am Wednesday. Significant rainfall totals included Morton, which received 242mm, Ulladulla 223mm, Willinga Lake 203mm, and Fitzroy Falls and Robertson both received 200mm. Wind gusts of 122km/h were recorded at Montague Island, 104km/h at Penrigh and 104 km/h at Ulladulla, and 102km/h gusts were recorded at Sydney Harbour, according to the Bureau. The hazardous conditions were not over yet, said bureau meteorologist Helen Reid, with numerous warnings still in place on Wednesday. 'There is a severe weather warning for damaging and damaging winds and heavy rainfall, which extends across the NSW coastal fringe from Forster to Bega into the alpine areas of parts of the southern tablelands and the northern tablelands as well.' Average gale force wind gusts of 60 to 70km/h were forecast, and the possibility of gusts up to 110km/h. Areas affected included Newcastle, Gosford, Sydney, Wollongong, Armadale, Batemans Bay, Tenterfield, Maria Heads and Penrith. 'Winds could bring down trees or tree limbs lead to dangerous driving conditions due to crosswinds or debris being thrown across the roads lead to power outages and possible damage to cars and property,' Reid said. A driver was in critical condition after a tree fell and crushed his truck in Moss Vale in NSW's southern highlands overnight. NSW police said the 55-year-old driver was unconscious as police officers and emergency service workers extracted him, and treated for serious injuries to his head and torso before being taken to hospital. Conditions remained hazardous along the coast, across an area stretching from Seal Rocks to the Victorian border, with the potential for damaging surf, coastal erosion and damage to infrastructure.

The NSW SES issued emergency flood warnings for residents at Burrill Lake – where about 200 properties were impacted by flooding, some over floor level – to take shelter. Sanctuary Point residents were also under an emergency warning. Watch and act warnings were in place due to flooding for Lake Conjola, Burrill Lake, Lake Tabourie, St Georges Basin and surrounds. The state's acting SES assistant commissioner, Allison Flaxman ,said flash flooding was a significant risk and urged the community to take caution on roads. 'Roads are slippery, and conditions can become dangerous quickly,' she said. 'Please never drive, walk or play in floodwaters. If you do come across a flooded road, turn around and find an alternative route.' The vigorous coastal low, which was still lingering off the central Illawarra coast, was expected to continue to direct severe weather across eastern NSW for much of Wednesday, before gradually easing on Thursday.
