Manchester City are crowned FIFA Club World Cup champions.

The fireworks go off around the roof of the stadium in Jeddah as the trophy is lifted by the City captain in front of his players.

Pep Guardiola leads his players to the podium to collect their Club World Cup winners medals before receiving the trophy itself.

And so is the world after the final.

The City playmaker is awarded the the Golden Ball Award as the player of the tournament. Kyle Walker won the Silver Ball Award as the second-best player in this edition of the Club World Cup.

Fluminense could have done with Kaka on the field against Manchester City.

The former AC Milan forward brings the trophy to the podium where the FIFA delegation and representatives of City await.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino is front and centre.

The FIFA Fair Play Trophy for the 2023 edition goes to Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad. It’s the first trophy awarded on podium.

City are starting to revel in their achievement – and who could blame them.

Foden said he was “over the world” – City are certainly on top of it right now.

Phil Foden scored City’s third goal of the game but says it was not as easy as it looked to beat Fluminense.

“It was an unbelievable match,” the midfielder told TNT Sports. “Fair play to them. I like they way they play – short passes.

“They [Fluminense] didn’t make it easy today but the lads showed heart and determination. We are not used to playing in this heat so it was difficult but I’m delighted with the outcome.

“This one is so important for the club. It’s the first time we have won it so it’s massive for the club. I’m over the world.”

The Premier League, the FA Cup, the Champions League, the Uefa Super Cup and now the FIFA Club World Cup.

A fifth trophy in 2023 and Manchester City are indeed champions of the world – has there been a more deserving winner of the title?

Pep Guardiola amd Matteo Kovacic go into the record book as the first manager and player respectively to win the Club World Cup with three different clubs.

Kovacic won it twice with Real Madrid and once with Chelsea prior to his substitute appearance in this final.

Kyle Walker has got involved in a scuffle and all the players rush in. Was it a reaction to the tackling in the second half or did frustration boil over from one of the Fluminense players after the whistle?

It seems to settle as quickly as it started. The rush was lead by peacemakers it seems.

The referee blows the whistle precisely on the 90 minute mark.

Full time: Manchester City 4-0 Fluminense

A second for Alvarez.

A majestic first touch takes the City forward away from the Fluminense defence before he drills low past the keeper from 12 yards (11-metres).

88 minutes: Manchester City 4-0 Fluminense

Nunes is the latest player to feel a fierce challenge from Fluminense.

It’s clearly frustration from the Brazilians.

Guardiola will be hoping the Rodri injury isn’t too bad and that the rest escape unscathed.

Fluminense seem determined to leave a mark of some sort on this game.

85 minutes: Manchester City 3-0 Fluminense

Foden and Ake come off for Nunes and Bobb.

City have the game wrapped up and it’s a chance to shine for some of the stars of the next generation while resting a few first-choice players.

81 minutes: Manchester City 3-0 Fluminense

The 21-year-old surges from the halfway line and unleashes a left-footed shot from the edge of the box.

It had swerve as well as power but Ederson was equal to it and pushed it over before punching the resulting corner clear.

79 minutes: Manchester City 3-0 Fluminense

Rodri comes off for Akanji. Guardiola had no choice with the game won. No point in risking perhaps City’s most important player.

Stones also come off for Gvardiol.

Nino is off for Marlon for Fluminense.

75 minutes: Manchester City 3-0 Fluminense

Foden settles it.

City win the second ball on the edge of the final third and find room on the left with Alvarez, who crosses to the back post where Foden slides in.

Much like the game, so simple for City.

72 minutes: Manchester City 3-0 Fluminense

Rodri is clattered by a hard challenge for which Alexander is booked.

The sub may be lucky that it was only a yellow. The first foot was heavy and the second followed through. Not far off scissoring Rodri.

He stays on for now, but surely Guardiola will take him off.
