What is at stake for Man City vs. Al Hilal in the round of 16?

Before the Club World Cup began, one of the biggest talking points was the huge prize fund for the winners, and the £97m sum will certainly motivate each team at the tournament.

Should City make it through to the quarter-finals, they could set up a repeat of the 2023 Champions League final if Inter Milan can beat Fluminense in their own round of 16 tie.

From that point on, Al Hilal or the Citizens would be up against one of Benfica, Chelsea, Botafogo or Palmeiras in the semi-finals, and such a clash would make Guardiola's side favourites to reach the final.

The Premier League club are the only team at the tournament that have won each of their fixtures, and despite their struggles in 2024-25, they will be expecting to go all the way this summer.

As for Al Za'eem, they may have only scraped through to the round of 16, but they remain unbeaten so far, and they will be confident of posing a threat after causing problems for Los Blancos in the group stage.
