Blue Moon in the Sky! The number one favorite to win the Club World Cup emerges, Manchester City won all three games to avoid the death half of the zone

The Club World Cup group stage finally saw a battle for the top group that was about to survive.

In order to avoid the Champions League king Real Madrid in Group H, Manchester City and Juventus have already locked in the group to qualify for two rounds in advance. In the last round, they were serious in order to compete for the first place in the group. This may be the first time that the two European clubs participating in the Club World Cup group stage have burst into a full desire to survive.

Of course, even if it really matches Real Madrid, Manchester City and Juventus may not be able to play, but obviously they did not face the Salzburg Red Bull or the Riyadh Crescent. More importantly, every step forward in the Club World Cup will lead to a considerable income.

So, whether it is for the championship or for the sake of funds, Manchester City and Juventus have enough motivation and reason to compete for the first place in the group.

Manchester City, who was still half-covered with a pipa in the first two rounds of the group stage, finally revealed its true face in this round - Guardiola not only made all the main players, but also sent the Golden Ball Midfielder Rodri, who had just recovered from serious injury.

This is probably the strongest lineup after Manchester City restarts next season. Whether it can recover as it has been the same as before depends on the actual effect.

There is an embarrassing fact: Manchester City has not beat Juventus in 49 years. In the sixth round of the just-concluded UEFA Champions League stage, Juventus defeated Manchester City 2-0 at home.

In this battle, Guardiola gave up his specialty in passing and control infiltration, and instead adopted a tactic of combining edge and middle - finally learning from his mistakes and returning to his mind. When Manchester City struggled in the trough, Guardiola's tactic of passing and controlling the penetration was desperate and he could not afford to pass the ball from the wing, resulting in the invasion of the frontcourt and the inability to defend the backcourt.

After changing the tactics, Manchester City's efficient and fast offensive accurately hit Juventus's life goal: Doku and Savignho joined forces to smash Juventus' defense line - Doku's blitz shot and Savignho made an own goal. Although the half-time score was only 2-1, Manchester City's advantage was almost overwhelming.

Sure enough, after the change of sides, Haaland, Foden and Savigno scored 3 goals in a row, expanding the score to 5-1. Although Vlahovic recovered 1 goal for Juventus in the last moment, the victory or defeat is unchangeable. The final score was 5-2, Manchester City ended the embarrassing history of 49 years of unbeatable against Juventus and advanced with the first place in the group.

won all three games, scoring 13 goals and conceding 2 goals, Manchester City became the only team to win the Club World Cup. Not only did they win the first place in the group as they wished, but they also successfully avoided the "second half of the death zone" with Real Madrid, Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain. It was a smooth road before the final.

If Manchester City can continue its terrifying firepower of 4 goals per game in the group stage, winning the Cup is just a natural thing. In this battle, Manchester City finally revealed its true face - Rodri was in the back midfield, with a determined command and a good dispatch; Doku and Savigno flew together, and the combination of the side and the middle was efficient and fatal; coupled with Haaland's oppression in the middle, the trinity blossomed from multiple points.

Of course, the most important point is that with Rodri taking the lead, Manchester City's defense has become the championship-level defense again, and it is no longer a breakup and is in a mess after a fight. The best proof is that only conceded 2 goals in 3 games.

Obviously, this Manchester City, who hopes to use the Club World Cup championship to save a bad season, is the biggest favorite to win this year's Club World Cup, and both offense and defense are online, which is worth looking forward to. It can even be asserted now that Manchester City has at least won the finals, only one game away from winning the championship.

So guess, who can stop Manchester City from restarting?
