In the long-awaited clash for the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup title, Fluminense will face Manchester City, from England, this Friday (22), at 3pm. Bookmakers are unanimous in considering the English team as the clear favorite.
Despite this, the Premier League club has important absences in its starting line-up.
To reach the final, Fluminense achieved a crucial victory over Al Ahly, from Egypt, while Manchester City overcame Urawa Red Diamonds, from Japan.
The challenge for the English team, however, is to face the decisive match without two of its main stars.
Center forward Erling Haaland and midfielder Kevin de Bruyne were cut at the last minute due to physical problems, leaving a significant gap in the formation of Pep Guardiola’s team.
On the Brazilian side, Fluminense led by Fernando Diniz enters the field with full force, maintaining the same team that triumphed over Al Ahly in the semi-final.
Despite Manchester City’s favoritism, the tricolor team seems to be very confident for this match, after all, in football, anything can happen.
