JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia (Reuters) - From league champions to European champions and now world champions, Manchester City added a fifth trophy in 2023 to their bulging collection when they beat Fluminense 4-0 in Friday's Club World Cup final to cap their remarkable year.

City are the first English club to simultaneously hold the Premier League, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup crowns -- which delighted manager Pep Guardiola hailed as an "outstanding achievement".
