But guardiola

FIFA Club World Cup: Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he is "excited and very pleased" at the prospect of his side's bid to try and secure FIFA Club World Cup glory this week.

The treble winners qualified for the tournament by virtue of their Champions League final victory over Inter Milan in June. They begin our campaign on Tuesday with a semi-final clash against Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds, who are the 2022 AFC Champions League winners.

Guardiola's side jetted out for the showpiece global club tournament in Saudi Arabia, straight after Saturday’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.
