the only downside to winning tonight is it taking the irony out of the ‘best team in the land and all the world’ song.

Irony?

Do our injured trio have to have been on the bench to get a medal or just be in the squad?

They’ll be given one anyway, but even if not, the club would just buy one for them.

Even I got a medal for winning the treble and I hardly played at all.

Hello Kalvin.

Prize money is rubbish for a Saudi hosted tournament.

We’ve found our resident Cox expert. ;-)

Arthur Cox was famously hard.

Just sank in its actually a big game for us isnt it?? to complete every football trophy a club can win and 5 major trophies in 2023??? Hope we dont make it edgy and can win this which should give the lads a boost going forward.

[Agueroooooooooooo]

I haven’t watched Fluminense recently but in the past they have been decent.
Anyone up to date with ther form?

$5 million US dollars.

Very keen to win this, will be our 2nd trophy of the season by Xmas. Pep will go full strength I reckon as the club are taking this seriously, as they should…more income, more global awareness etc etc….all part of the growth plan, the City juggernaut.
Would be seriously good to have World Club Champions 2023 added to the trophy roll call in the match day programme & wherever it can be listed. Might not get another chance.

 

[malg]

eurpean clubs have won the last 10 so we'll b a laughing stock if we stop the run

Oh God..................I can see the headlines now!

 

[chesterbells]

yeah, their form looks average at best. Slightly better than Crystal Palace though.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

What channel is this on

Please, win this guys. I'm Brazilian from Rio, and Fluminense is one of the biggest rivals from my team. They're already super arrogant because they won Libertadores cup, I can't even imagine how insufferable they will be if they win this... and yeah, I know this tournament is not that valued in Europe, but it's a huge deal in Brazil. They are treating this match as the match of their life, the most important match of the club.

Honestly, I'm not too optimistic as Haaland and De Bruyne will not play (really, Fluminense's luck has no limit this season). I know you guys still have a great team, but I'm skeptical. I hope you guys win, in fact I will even buy a Manchester City jersey if they do.

Great post. It's rivalry like this that makes football what it is. Once this goes then we've lost the heart and soul of the game.
