Manchester City sent a strong message to the footballing world with a ruthless 6-0 demolition of Al Ain in the FIFA Club World Cup, proving once again why they are the reigning kings of Europe. The clash, held at the iconic Mercedes-Benz Stadium, was less of a contest and more of a showcase of City's attacking brilliance and tactical superiority.
From the first whistle, Pep Guardiola's side dominated possession, pinned the Saudi outfit deep into their own half, and never took their foot off the gas. Ilkay Gündogan, the midfield maestro, bagged a clinical brace, showing his class with precise finishes that left the opposition defence bewildered.
French youngster Rayan Cherki also got on the scoresheet with a dazzling solo goal, while Erling Haaland powered in his trademark strike to continue his prolific run. Oscar Bobb and Argentine starlet Claudio Echeverri rounded off the scoring, ensuring the scoreboard reflected the true extent of City's superiority.

Fernando Alonso names the Real Madrid player who excites him the most – ‘When he gets the ball…'
Fernando Alonso names the Real Madrid player who excites him the most – 'When he gets the ball…' Spanish Formula 1 legend Fernando Alonso has been keeping a close eye on Real Madrid lately, and during the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup, he shared his admiration for the team, especially for Kylian Mbappe. The two-time F1 world champion revealed his long-standing passion for football and didn't hold back when talking about the French superstar and the club's latest coaching shift. Advertisement Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid last summer, is clearly the player who excites Alonso the most. 'Since he was at Monaco, Mbappe has always given me something special,' said the Spanish F1 racer. 'When he gets the ball, I feel like anything can happen. He's the player who calls to me the most,' he added. Alonso's comments show how deeply impressed he is by the energy and unpredictability Mbappe brings to the pitch, traits that have already made him a fan favourite at the Santiago Bernabeu. High praise for Xabi Alonso's leadership Fernando Alonso also spoke in favour of Xabi Alonso. (Photo by) Advertisement The F1 star also spoke about Xabi Alonso's recent appointment as Real Madrid manager. While the two share a surname, they are not related, but Fernando clearly holds the former midfielder in high regard. 'Xabi was a smart player, always full of tactical awareness,' said Alonso. 'Now, as a coach, he combines that knowledge with a calm attitude and strong communication skills. 'That's exactly what's needed at a club like Real Madrid, where there's pressure every three days.' With the Club World Cup well underway and Madrid pushing for another trophy, Fernando Alonso's support is yet another example of the bond between Spain's sporting greats. Advertisement His praise for Mbappe, who is yet to play for Real Madrid at the ongoing tournament, and belief in Xabi Alonso only reflect the optimism many fans are feeling about Real Madrid's current project.

How Kenan Yildiz Magic Helped Juventus To FIFA Club World Cup Victory
Kenan Yildiz celebrates after scoring against Wydad at Lincoln Financial Field (Photo by Jonathan ...) Juventus were back in action on Sunday afternoon, recording their second victory in the FIFA Club World Cup thanks in no small part to a magical performance from Kenan Yildiz. The Italian side already made a fine start to the competition with a comprehensive victory over Al Ain, a 5-0 rout at Audi Field in Washington DC which was analysed in this previous column. They were back in action over the weekend, this time at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field for a meeting with Moroccan side Wydad, with boss Igor Tudor naming an unchanged lineup from their first outing. Kenan Yildiz shines for Juventus It did not take long for the Bianconeri to establish control. A neat exchange with Khephrem Thuram released Kenan Yildiz into the opposition box, the Turkey international firing a powerful effort that deflected off Abdelmounaim Boutouil before going in. Officially logged as an own goal by the defender, it was a signal of intent from Yildiz who tormented Wydad throughout the game. Just moments after opening the scoring, the 20-year-old delivered a wonderful cross that almost picked out Randal Kolo Muani. There was then confusion in the Juve defence that almost allowed Samuel Obeng to score, but Michele Di Gregorio made a good save to spare Weston McKennie and Andrea Cambiaso any embarrassment. Normal service quickly resumed and, with 16 minutes on the clock, it was once again Yildiz providing the cutting edge. An extended period of attacking play from Juve eventually resulted in the ball dropping to the no.10 on the edge of the area and he made no mistake, despatching a stunning effort that the goalkeeper was powerless to stop. The Turin giants then eased up somewhat, Di Gregorio again called into action to deny Guilherme Ferreira, before a great ball from Nordin Amrabat allowed Thembinkosi Lorch to grab a goal for Wydad. Half time came and went as Juventus re-established control. Andrea Cambiaso hit the post from close range, before some excellent interplay from Kolo Muani and Yildiz saw the latter score yet again. Juventus boss praised Kenan Yildiz Dusan Vlahovic came off the bench and converted a penalty to make it 4-1, but there was little doubt as to whom the evening belonged. According to Yildiz ended the game with two goals from just two shots, but was unfortunate that the own goal ruling denied him a memorable hat trick. He also registered two successful take-ons, made five crosses and delivered one key pass. Also weighing in defensively with one tackle and one interception, it was no surprise that Igor lauded the impact of Kenan Yildiz in his post-match interview. 'Only he can decide how far he can go,' the Juve boss told DAZN. 'Players like him are rare. Playing up front and making a difference while running like a typical midfielder is a rare quality. 'He's got a strong mentality. We've all seen what he's capable of. He's a golden boy.' 'I feel really good and I'm happy with what I've contributed,' added Yildiz, who also scored in the opening game against Al Ain.' I'm having a good tournament and enjoying it – let's hope it continues!' His team will be hoping exactly that as they prepare for their next outing, the Bianconeri taking on Manchester City in Orlando. Juventus will enter that game knowing they have already qualified for the next round, and that they possess a player in Kenan Yildiz who can deliver moments of magic just when they're needed.
