⚽ FIFA Club World Cup 2025 - USA: Discussion Thread ⚽

[CLS63]

Juventus have normally been like Manchester City's counter. Previously they played against each other 5 times. Juventus won 3 of them and didn't lose any. But this time looks different.

We can simply say that Manchester City were the much better side in the first half. They dominated it. If they carry this game to the second half I doubt Juventus can resist them very well. The final gap could be higher than only one goal.

[Issa56]

Manchester City will have a higher chance of winning the match. Because the Italian club Juventus will be behind Manchester City in terms of team strength. The recent form may tell a story of uncertainty. But for Manchester City, defeating Juventus is important to get their confidence fire.

The first half of the match has ended, and we are already in the second half of the match, and Manchester city is already leading juventus. The first half wasn’t funny for juventus, Manchester City dominated the match in the first half of the match, I was expecting the match to be difficult for Manchester City even if they are going to win, but Manchester city had 77% possession, and juventus had 23%, Manchester City had 15 total shots, and juventus had just 2 shots.

Let’s see how the second half of the match will be, but am expecting more goals from Manchester city in the second half of the match if juventus doesn’t improve their performance in the second half of the match.

You are actually right many gamblers will bet on Manchester City, likewise me I'm not actually moved by odds or head to head, Manchester City has really signed some quality players and will definitely utilize them to their own advantage, that aside Manchester City to me is really the favorite to win tonight match and I strongly believe that, they have the upper hands on this game, for long now Juventus is not really what they use to be, they are almost at Manchester United level in the EPL, but the advantage Juventus have is there are not much pressure like that of the EPL

Juventus are a shadow of their past to be honest we all can see that but I doubt they have fallen like Manchester United. They could bounce back sooner or later but Manchester United is still under lower probability after being a shadow of themselves for over a decade now.

Kalulu og has put Manchester City ahead and the second half is up already now but we expect City to be the victor here.

The game is now 3-1 in favour of Manchester City.  Erling Haaland just added the third goal and I think the game is over. Juventus will not be able to recover in this game based on the level of performance. Juventus have been a shadow of themselves since last session and they would have to settle for the second place in Group G.

I don’t know what Pierre Kalulu was thinking when he played the ball into his own goal post. He was not under any pressure, maybe he wanted to pass the ball to the goalkeeper.

[Callido]

I must admit that Man City has a great chance to win the match, but Juventus is a team that is quite tough in defending the back line. Both teams will try to fight for the first position so that they can be safe in the group standings. I hope this match is quite exciting because both are famous so it will be disappointing if they show a boring match.

Since both sides have already qualified for the next round I don't know if they will give their best. Both coaches might end up fielding team B so that important players would be available for the round of 16 game. Taking the first position is also important because it might be important for both sides, but we would have had a more entertaining match if they were struggling for survival.

Absolutely, i expect both teams to put in their best. Mancity are winning already, Juventus 1 - 3 Manchester City. With the score already it seems the game will end in favor of Manchester City, possession speaks great difference between both teams as Manchester City are superior in this match. Who wins today obviously Manchester City will be facing team that ends second in Group H.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Just about 10 minutes into the second half, and 55 minutes overall time, city have been able to secure 3 solid goals with no mistakes. Well, does this really prove that they've improved? I'll say, for the most part, yes.

Juventus on the other hand are already showing sign of weakness from the goals they've conceived. I think their last two matches were more like a bonus to them; for the first time in 5 matches (including the games in their local league divisions) this would be their first loss.
Meanwhile, Jeremy Doku is on real fire! It's insane how they showed up to the match with their previous glories, only to be reminded who the champions really are.

Apart from Juventus loosing and having an own goal,  I love the performance I am seeing Manchester city is having over Juventus in this game, so far I agree with you that this game is over and Manchester City is winning this game, if Juventus was doing any better,  I would have hoped for a chance of a possible draw but their performance so far has been poor and they don't look like they are going to be able to recover from it before the end of the game.  By the game statistics, it's obvious that Manchester City is dominating in every aspect of the game and I can say congratulations to them for their victory even before the end of the game. I just checked and it's now 5 goals for Manchester City and one goal for Juventus,  obviously it's a won game for Manchester city.

I feel that City will still score more goals in this match because Foden has finally scored to make the scoreline 1-4. This looks like a work over match for City because they are not finding it difficult to find the back of the net. Juventus is giving City all the time to be with the ball and that's why City has the opportunity to create more chances which might lead to more goals. Savinho just scored the 5th goal for City. It's 1-5.

With the score already it seems the game will end in favor of Manchester City, possession speaks great difference between both teams as Manchester City are superior in this match. Who wins today obviously Manchester City will be facing team that ends second in Group H.

As I said a few minutes ago Manchester City could score 4 goals and exactly right, the 4th goal was scored in the 69 minute, this is not luck because we can see how Manchester City plays from the first minute. And again I say don't expect more from Juventus because this 3rd match doesn't change anything and Juventus still qualified for the next round so be careful placing bets there is a possibility that you are trapped.

Edited: Manchester City scored 5 goals and the next opponent is Al Hilal while Juventus have to face Real Madrid, I'm not underestimating Juventus, but it seems like Real Madrid is more deserving    By the way I don't expect a repeat of the Champions League final in this tournament.

Waoo this is a good game Manchester City is getting back to form gradually because I didn't expect that Manchester City will score up to four goals against a team like Juventus this is a sign of good things to come i think that Juventus really has a long way to go in terms of strengthening their team because with what I saw them performing today they really lack quality

[Rruchi man]

Savinho just scored the 5th goal for City. It's 1-5.

Savinho is a regular name with assists, but not a regular name with goals. For him to be scoring means that Manchester City are having a great game and making a statement for the next round of the competition. Doku scoring is also good. Rodri's return signals stability for City in midfield.

City will do better in the EPL and UCL next season.

Juventus' goal deficit is very far from Manchester City because Pep Guardiola continued his good game in the second half, not giving Juventus a gap and they have only managed to score 2 goals so far while Manchester City has more.

In the second half, Manchester City went even crazier, they managed to score 3 goals including Haaland scoring again, if he had played in the first half, he might have scored more than 1 goal. LOL. Who here bets on over 4.5? And I think some people are not sure the score will end like this.

I was watching the match at the end of the first half and it was 3x2 for City, now it's 90' (it's already over) and City have already scored 5 goals... impressive. I'm really going to miss this Club World Cup.

Other thing... No one imagined that the brazilian clubs would get this far, with all of them qualifying for the group stage.

Flamengo and Botafogo are two other brazilian clubs to watch out for. Brazilian teams are unpredictable in competitions like these.

Manchester City outplayed Juventus in the game no need to hide from the truth but I don't know if they have identified the problem of the team because winning against Juventus is not a big deal since the Juventus team is not longer as strong as they used to be. 2:5 it ended and all I can say is that Juventus still has a long way to go, City was better in all round as they dominated the possession, goals, corners etc. they really deserve the win tonight.

It was so obvious in the game that Manchester City will be the clear favourite, see how they controlled the game right from the beginning although I wasn't surprised concerning that aspect because I already knew that City is a possessive team. After a hard and bad season they are now coming back stronger and better. The lose only means that Juventus will be second on the log of their group to City, while City is the undisputed champion of G. It's really good for me to see City coming back.

[pawel7777]

Out of 12 participating European clubs only 2 dropped out and one of them, Atletico Madrid, was in a group with two other European clubs.
We still have one last round to go in Group H, where Real Madrid and Salzburg are currently placed 1st and 2nd respectively, bu there's a chance one of them drops out tomorrow. But we can clearly see the huge gap between the level of the European football and the rest of the world.

Well done to Monterrey, who defeated Urawa Reds 4-0 and thanks to Inter beating River Plate, they jumped to the 2nd place and will play in the round of 16.

[BIT-BENDER]

Manchester City's victory today over Juventus is more than just 3 points and a chance to top the group, infact it is more than just the FIFA club world cup, I believe the trashing of Juventus is more like a statement to teams in the FIFA club world cup and to every other team in Europe that they are back and next season would be great for them.

I like how city's new recruits has adapted into the team so fast and are already making massive impact and contributions to the team, they are amongst the favorite to win this competition and I will hope they carry this form into the new season.

[Justbillywitt]

It's really good to see Manchester city perform this good. I waited for them to face a proper team like Juventus before arriving to any conclusion about Manchester city quality. From what I have seen in this match, I will say that Manchester city are back. They are the only team to have won all their group games in this competition and that's a clear indication that Pep Guardiola has found a way to fix his team. All the new signings that has come into the team are really performing and it's a delight to see how balance this team is. With this of performance tonight, Manchester city will make it to the final of this competition, that's how I feel.

[Richbased]

City will do better in the EPL and UCL next season.

As we can see how how Manchester City performed in this game against Juventus tonight, we can say that Manchester City are all set for next season games. Imagine that spectacular performance from Pep Guardiola's boys, it was outstanding and they never gave Juventus any opportunity to shine at all, they were everywhere and gave no breathing space. The match later ended 2:5, though both teams have already qualified for the round of 16 earlier before they met today, maybe that was why Juventus didn't care about the result. Moreover Juventus have always been winning Manchester City, but it was a different ball game today, Manchester City took challenge and gave Juventus the beating of their life. For the UCL next season, Manchester City will sure be among the teams that will be the center of attraction.

Man City looks really good and with how good they are playing i think they might even win the entire thing. Probobly the team that looks the most good so far. This was an expected win from Man City but didnt expect it to be so heavily. Juventus on the other hand didnt have much presure because this loss didnt mean much to them
