Winner of the Premier League, the FA Cup then the Champions League against Inter (before being beaten by Arsenal during the Community Shield), Pep Guadiola’s Manchester City can offer themselves a new coronation in 2023 with the Club World Cup. The Cityzens challenge the Urawa Red Diamonds this Tuesday in Saudi Arabia, in Jeddah (in the Al-Itthiad stadium).

On the side of the reigning Asian champion, we find former Marseillais Hiroki Sakai on the bench. The 33-year-old right back entered 10 minutes from time during the qualifier against the Mexican team of Léon (1-0), last Friday. The winner of this second semi-final will face Fluminense in the final on Friday.
