Foden and Guardiola's remarkable numbers in the World Cup
Manchester City opened their 2025 Club World Cup campaign with a convincing 2-0 victory over Morocco's Wydad Casablanca in their Group G opener on Wednesday evening. Phil Foden scored an early goal for City, before Jeremy Doku doubled the lead late in the first half, securing the Sky Blues' first three points in the tournament. Opta highlighted Foden's unique achievement, as he became the first English player to score in two different Club World Cups, an unprecedented feat for any English player. Meanwhile, coach Pep Guardiola continued to make history in the tournament, maintaining his perfect record in the Club World Cup without a single hiccup, according to Squawka. The Spanish coach has won every match he has played in the tournament, whether with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, or Manchester City, with a total of nine wins from nine matches. His teams have scored 27 goals, conceded only two, and kept seven clean sheets.
