In a display of sheer dominance, Manchester City etched their name in history by clinching a 4-0 victory over Fluminense in Jeddah.

This win crowned them as the first English club to secure five of the most prestigious trophies within a single year. Guardiola's side, already lauded as Treble winners, added another feather to their cap with this remarkable achievement.

Pep Guardiola, the mastermind behind City's success, expressed his profound satisfaction with the team's accomplishments. "It's a beautiful, beautiful day," Guardiola reflected as reported by Daily Mail.

He acknowledged the collective effort, extending gratitude to players and coaches like Enzo Maresca and Mikel Arteta, who contributed to this incredible journey.

The Road Ahead: Challenges and Aspirations

As City gears up to defend their league title against Everton, concerns linger over the fitness of Rodri, who recently suffered a knee issue. 

Guardiola remains hopeful, noting that Rodri's participation in the trophy celebrations is a positive sign. Despite the looming challenge at Goodison Park, Guardiola and his team are determined to maintain their winning momentum.
