As the defending champion of the Club World Cup, Guardiola: "I am extremely proud. What we have achieved is outstanding. Winning this trophy means being the best team in the world. Our players, coaches, logistics personnel, everyone on the team worked hard day after day, which brought us this success.

"As the head coach, this is what I am most proud of; we always remain competitive. No matter how many we win, no matter how many trophies we have held, we always appear again and fight for the next trophy.

"Winning the Triple Crown is extraordinary, but then winning two more trophies and bringing five important championship trophies into your arms, this shows the unique spirit of this team, this club and its fans.

"This is a great achievement that no other English team has ever achieved, and we will always remember this incredible time we have spent together. ”

The Club World Cup was not held in 2024, and the New Club World Cup was launched in 2025: "This is an honor because it means that we have performed very well in the Champions League and in the domestic leagues over the past few seasons. This is a brand new event and I'm looking forward to it. ”

will face the club that is usually hard to meet Guardiola: "Even in domestic leagues, there are different head coaches, different cultures, different styles and ways of playing. Of course, in the Club World Cup you may encounter teams from Oceania, Asia, South America... there are different ideas, different types of players and cultures. This is awesome.

"The influence of my former coaches on me helped broaden my mind, especially my mentor Cruyff. He broadened my mind and helped me imagine my own way of playing. I'm sure I might have had a hard time becoming a head coach without Cruyff's influence in my career.

"There are 31 other teams with the same goal - winning the championship. OK, of course it will be very good, we can't deny it. Usually when I start an event – ​​like the Premier League – I never start thinking, ‘Oh, we’re going to win. ’'You must win. ’But you have to take one step at a time. ”
