It s not that Juventus is too bad! The terrifying Blue Moon is crazy: wins 2 No. 1 in the Club World Cup, and all Ou is trembling

In the early morning of June 27, the third round of Group G of the Club World Cup group stage started in full swing. Manchester City beat Juventus 5-2, and Guardiola's team qualified as the top spot in the group. After the game, many people criticized Juventus for playing too badly, but this is not the truth.

possession rate is 24%, shot 5 times and shot 2 times! This is Juventus' data against Manchester City today. Obviously, such performance is a shame for a super giant like Juventus. In the whole game, Juventus had no chance to win, and they played very passively.

However, the main reason why Juventus plays like this is not that they are too bad, but that Manchester City is too strong. After a "bad" 2024-25 season, Manchester City's hard days have finally come to an end. Rodri's return, the arrival of new players, and Guardiola's adjustments all make Manchester City unstoppable.

Moreover, even if you don't consider these, just look at the value of the two teams, you can still see the strength gap between Juventus and Manchester City. Juventus's team is worth a total of 500 million euros, while Manchester City has 1.3 billion euros, which is too much different. Manchester City can even line up three sets of lineups to compete with Juventus on the court. In the end, in football, it is about competing with who is rich.

Juventus coach Tudor's words after the game revealed the terrible thing about Manchester City: "They spent hundreds of millions of dollars in signings. Their players are much stronger than us. This is a fact, and we must admit. I am not making excuses. In the past 10 years, they have tied for the best team in the world with Manchester City." In the last two transfer windows, Manchester City spent a lot of money and signed many strong players, and their strength has been greatly improved. In this Club World Cup, these two data from Manchester City are surprising: they won all three games in the group stage, the only one among the 32 teams can do this; they scored 13 goals in the group stage, surpassing Bayern, becoming the one with the most goals among the 32 teams!

Whether on the offensive end or defensive end, Guardiola's team has no obvious shortcomings. Fans sighed: "After pretending to be dead for one season, Guardiola will make the whole of Europe tremble again." In the Club World Cup, Guardiola played 11 games in total and won all of them. Next, he has only one goal, leading Manchester City to the championship.
