Club World Cup victory is had by [Manchester City](https://bitterandblue.sbnation.com) as they cruise to a 6-0 victory. A crazy move by Pep Guardiola as he makes 11 changes from the previous match, something he had never done before. A more traditional City lineup that saw Haaland, Nico, Ait Nouri and Echeverri have great match.
Also, keep in mind Ilkay Gundogan’s incredible run in this one with a worldie chip.
Another win and we move to the reaction-
**Pep Guardiola Reaction**
> “It’s how everyone pushes, it’s just five or six games so make real a contribution, the body language.
>
> “We spoke at half time about scoring as much as possible but in the end we played against our opponent.
>
> “[Juventus](https://www.blackwhitereadallover.com) play another opponent, they maybe do better than us but now if we want to finish first we have to beat the Italian team.
>
> “If not and we’re second we’ll see who we play in the next round.”
>
> “Since he’s arrived the previous season, three or four months with us at the end of the training session he’d practice the free-kicks with the keeper and the wall alone. The others didn’t,” Pep added.
>
> “He practiced and practiced, and the work paid off, he had the courage and quality. When you practice, it’s like golf or basketball, the more you practice the more chances you have. It was a fantastic goal and he’s an incredible player in the small spaces.
>
> “Unfortunately, he couldn’t continue after half-time for a problem with the ankle but it was really good that his first minutes in this competition, he made a fantastic goal. The free-kick was really, really good.”
