Three European Teams Advance to Club World Cup Round of 16 Dominantly

Three elite European clubs have secured their path to the round of 16 in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup — leaving Asian representatives behind in the competition.

Manchester City demonstrated their dominance by defeating 2024 Asian Champions League winners Al Ain with a decisive 6-0 score at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta.

• Ilkay Guendogan scored twice
• Claudio Echeverri, Erling Haaland, Oscar Bobb, and Rayan Cherki each added one goal

This perfect result means Manchester City and Juventus — two teams with full victory records in Group H — have secured their knockout phase tickets ahead of schedule.
