The best players in the game were Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez. They scored three of the four goals, and Nino scored an own goal, making City the best team in the world. City already won the UEFA Super Cup this season, and now they’re aiming to win the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League. They want to collect more trophies in the second half of the season.
What’s next for Man City?
City will now return to England. They don’t have a lot of time to enjoy winning the title because they have a game against Everton. City wants to continue being successful in the Premier League, but they fell behind Arsenal and Liverpool in the title race because of a recent dip in form.
