WATCH THE CLIP

<p>City's latest win marks the end of a fantastic year for Pep Guardiola's team. They had already won the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League and UEFA Super Cup before claiming the Club World Cup trophy - thus becoming the first English team to claim all five trophies in a single calendar year.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It wasn't just City who made history on the day, however, as striker Alvarez opened the scoring with a chested goal just 40 seconds into the match - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/julian-alvarez-lionel-messi-chested-man-city-fastest-goal-club-world-cup-final-fluminense/blt3392de46fc5b9617" target="_blank">the fastest goal in Club World Cup final history</a>. He did so in style, too, putting the ball in with his chest in a goal that resembled Lionel Messi's effort in the 2009 final.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>City, who are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions, return to England as world champions with a game against Everton in the Premier League scheduled for December 27. They will then round off 2023 with a home clash with struggling Sheffield United.</p>
