Marmoush is at the forefront...and Guardiola trusts him

Manchester City is increasingly relying on Egyptian star Omar Marmoush, who has attracted attention since joining the team in January 2025. The 26-year-old has scored eight goals in 22 appearances so far, becoming a key player in Spanish coach Pep Guardiola's plans. Dubbed the "Golden Prince" by the media, he is expected to play a pivotal role in City's journey to the world title. Wydad, on the other hand, enters the match with legitimate ambitions, despite the difficult challenge. They hope to honor Moroccan and Arab football and make their mark against one of the strongest teams in the world.

Guardiola seeks fifth title in the tournament

Pep Guardiola enters the new edition of the Club World Cup as the most decorated coach, having lifted the trophy four times before: twice with Barcelona (2009 and 2011), once with Bayern Munich (2013), and once with Manchester City (2023). The Spanish coach is aiming to add to his tally of international titles, while City seeks to consolidate their dominance following their 2023 Champions League triumph and attempt to put behind them a domestic and European season that fell short of their ambitions. The tournament is held in a format similar to the World Cup for national teams, with teams divided into eight groups, with the top two teams qualifying for the round of 16. The competition continues in a knockout format until the final.
