Pep Guardiola says Man City will ‘rest our minds' after Club World Cup exit
The Premier League side were beaten 4-3 in extra time after a pulsating clash at Orlando's Camping World Stadium to exit the competition at the last-16 stage. City were left to rue a succession of missed chances as they failed to add to Bernardo Silva's ninth-minute opener before Marcos Leonardo and Malcom turned the game around. PEP 💬 In these stages they are all difficult games. We allowed them to create transitions but we created a lot and in general we were good. It's a pity. We were in such a good place and I can't not say thank you to the staff, how they train and prepare, they have given… — Manchester City (@ManCity) July 1, 2025 Erling Haaland sent the game to extra time but City needed another equaliser from Phil Foden after Kalidou Koulibaly headed the Saudi Arabian outfit back in front. City, who were repeatedly caught on the break, could not regain the initiative and Leonardo secured a major upset – and a statement victory for Saudi football – with 112 minutes on the clock. Guardiola said: 'It is a pity. We have been on incredible journey together and were in a good place. The vibe was really good. 'I cannot thank the players enough for training and playing how they have been. 'But it was a difficult game. The margins were minimal. We created a lot and (Yassine) Bounou made incredible saves but we were so open. 'We would have loved to have continued, it will only be once every four years, and we had a feeling that the team was doing well. 'But we go home and now it is time to rest and rest our minds for the new season.' City had been strong favourites to prevail and go through to a quarter-final clash against Fluminense, the side they thrashed 4-0 in the 2023 final, but Guardiola conceded there were shortcomings at both ends of the field.

They defended so deep, the wingers were so quick and Bounou made a lot of saves. 'In the end, we have to score and be clinical. They arrived more in the transitions. They did not create much in the first half but we did but could not finish it. 'I had a feeling we could go through but they punished us on the transitions.' The result underlines the rapid of acceleration of Saudi football in recent years. Al-Hilal coach Simone Inzaghi said: 'The key to this result was the players, the heart they put on the pitch. 'We had to do something extraordinary because we knew how good Manchester City are, we knew we had to climb Mount Everest without oxygen and we were great. 'Guardiola is the best coach in the world but tonight we did our best and we deserved the result.'

Spider-Man Bounou Boots Out Man City in Club World Cup Stunner
Yassine Bounou pulled off a masterclass between the posts as Al Hilal knocked Manchester City out of the Club World Cup in a 4-3 extra-time win in Orlando, Florida. City looked to be on for a cruising game when Bernardo Silva tucked one in after just nine minutes. But from then on, it turned into The Bounou Show™. 6′ Rúben Dias gets a free header 😮 Watch the @FIFACWC | June 14 – July 13 | Every Game | Free | | #FIFACWC #TakeItToTheWorld #MCIHIL — DAZN Football (@DAZNFootball) July 1, 2025 The Moroccan shot-stopper was everywhere – diving, flying, clawing balls out of nowhere. Transfer Guru Fabricio Romano wrote on Facebook: '10 saves. Yes, 10 SAVES. Ten saves against Man City in the FIFA Club World Cup. Like a wall. Like a monster. NOT HUMAN. You're insane, Bounou.' It wasn't even as if City played badly. They created chances galore. But every time they got past Al Hilal's shaky defence, there was Bounou – cool as ice, sharp as hell. Guardiola looked gutted on the touchline, and after the match, he didn't even try to hide it: 'Bounou made incredible saves. Nothing else to say.' Al Hilal scored some tidy goals – two from Marcos Leonardo, one from Malcom, and a thumping header from Koulibaly. But without Bounou's heroics, they'd have been torn apart by half-time. The 2023 Champions League winners are now heading home, finishing the season trophyless, while Al Hilal – and their brick-wall No.1 – roll on to the quarters to face Brazil's Fluminense.
