City feel emotion of occasion as they stand on edge of the world

City are in a patchy stretch of form but booked a place in the final with a comfortable and comprehensive 3-0 win over Urawa Red Diamonds on Tuesday.

They face Copa Libertadores champions Fluminense on Friday to be crowned World Champions, and Guardiola called upon his squad to handle their emotions and win a competition they may never win again.

The Club World Cup is changing format after this edition, expanding to 32 teams from 2025, with City confirmed to be taking part that summer. However, they know the only guarantees to qualify for any future editions will be to win the Champions League and Guardiola knows how difficult that competition is to win having taken seven attempts to win it at City.
