In the early morning of December 23, Beijing time, the final of the Club World Cup hosted by Saudi Arabia has ended, and the Champions League champion Manchester City defeated Fluminense, the champion of the Copa Libertadores, to win the championship of the event for the first time in team history, and at the same time crowned the five-time champion. After the game, the 52-year-old celebrated the victory, another record-breaking night.
Pep Guardiola led Manchester City to their first Champions League title this summer and was crowned treble winner of the season, and his coaching of the Blues has finally achieved that goal. With the status of Champions League champion, Guardiola led the team to participate in the Club World Cup, and finally won two games in a row and successfully won the championship.
After the game, the Manchester City players rushed to celebrate, and Guardiola was relatively calm, shaking his fists in celebration and hugging his assistants.

For Pep Guardiola, the manager who was crowned the five-time champion for the third time in his coaching career did it in just 15 years, the previous two times were in 2009 and 2011, both during the Barcelona coaching period, of which he won six consecutive championships in 2009, becoming the first team in football history to win the "six crowns" in a natural year.
