Impressive Man City turn on the power against Juventus

Orlando: Manchester City turned on the style to seal top spot in Group G at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 with an emphatic 5-2 win over Juventus on Thursday.

The third straight victory for Pep Guardiola's side increases the chances of City avoiding a meeting with Real Madrid in the last 16 - a fate that may now await Juventus. City and Juve will not know their opponent until the final pair of games in Group H conclude later on Friday.
