Manchester City became Club World Cup winners for the first time, when they beat Copa Libertadores champions Fluminese 4-0 in Jeddah.
Pep Guardiola’s side exemplified their fluid, attacking football, and Fluminese, who resolutely tried to play out from the back throughout the match, had little to offer in response.
City as reigning Champions League winners, Europe’s representative added another title to their crown, and their first of the season, making it their fifth in a single calendar year.
The Copa Libertadores champions had already struggled domestically this season but reached the final after beating Al Ahly 2-0 in the other semi-final.
