Manchester City was eliminated from the Club World Cup in Orlando after a 4-3 extra-time defeat to Saudi side Al-Hilal.
City initially led through Bernardo Silva but conceded goals to Marcos Leonardo, Malcom, and Kalidou Koulibaly, with Leonardo scoring the decisive goal.
Manager Pep Guardiola stated ‘it is too early to say’ if his team will contend for major prizes next season, despite observing positive aspects.
Guardiola noted the high level of competition and the re-emergence of defensive weaknesses that contributed to their exit.
Questions remain about City's squad size and potential player departures, alongside ongoing injury management for players like Rodri and John Stones.
