City’s latest win marks the end of a fantastic year for Pep Guardiola’s team.

It wasn’t just City who made history on the day, however, as striker Alvarez opened the scoring with a chested goal just 40 seconds into the match – the fastest goal in Club World Cup final history. He did so in style, too, putting the ball in with his chest in a goal that resembled Lionel Messi’s effort in the 2009 final.
