Phil Foden was thrilled with Manchester City's "massive" victory over Fluminense in the Club World Cup final.

Pep Guardiola's Treble-winners won 4-0 in Jeddah to secure their fifth trophy of the year after lifting the UEFA Super Cup back in August.

Foden, 23, was on the scoresheet in the King Abdullah International Stadium, with World Cup winner Julian Alvarez bagging a brace and Fluminense defender Nino netting an unfortunate own goal.

City's victory in Saudi Arabia means Foden has now won every single competition he has played in with the club — and the England international is also averaging a trophy every 15 games with the Premier League champions.

He said after the game: "It was an unbelievable match. Fair play to them, I love the way they play with short passes, they didn't make it easy for us.

"But the lads showed not only quality showed heart and determination, we're not used to the heat. I'm delighted with the outcome.

"This is so important for the club. I'm delighted. It is massive for the club."

Rodri worry

Manchester City have not been the same without Rodri this season

But while Guardiola's fourth Club World Cup triumph was littered with positives, the City boss will be a tad concerned with Rodri's condition after the midfielder limped off in the second half.

The Spaniard, who won the tournament's Golden Ball award in the post-match ceremony, appeared to suffer a knee injury following a heavy tackle from Alexsander.

However, Rodri was spotted moving quite freely in the trophy celebrations, so his exit from the field may merely have been a precautionary measure.

City do not have long to celebrate their Club World Cup triumph, with a trip to Everton awaiting them on December 27.
