Alvarez completed the rout two minutes from time to hand Man City their first-ever World Club Cup trophy.

Manchester City are now the first English team to win five trophies in a calendar year, adding it to their Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League and the Uefa Super Cup triumph in a hugely successful year.

Guardiola has also become the first manager to win the FIFA Club World Cup with three different teams, having won it twice with Barcelona, once with Bayern Munich.

The Spanish gaffer has now won every trophy available at Manchester City to cement his place as the club’s greatest manager.
