Manchester City Thrash Juventus 5–2 to Top Club World Cup Group
Manchester City delivered a commanding performance to defeat Juventus 5–2 in their final Group G match at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in Orlando. Goals from Doku, Haaland, Foden, Savinho, and an own goal by Kalulu saw the Premier League champions dominate from start to finish. Juventus responded with goals from Koopmeiners and Vlahović, but it was not enough to stop City’s unbeaten run in the group stage.
City took control early, with Doku opening the scoring in the 9th minute. Although Koopmeiners equalized after a rare error from Ederson, City quickly regained the lead through Kalulu’s own goal. The second half saw Guardiola’s men shift into another gear, as Haaland, Foden, and Savinho all found the net with clinical precision.
With the victory, Manchester City finished top of the group with a perfect record and advanced to the knockout stage, where they will face Al-Hilal. Juventus, finishing second, are set to play against Real Madrid. The result reinforces City’s status as tournament favorites as they seek to add the global crown to their growing trophy cabinet.
